**Prove whether the function takes on its maximum value or its minimum value on the given domains with a compactness argument or, if necessary, a method from first-year calculus.**

\[ f(x) = x^3; \]

**Domains:**
- \( A = [0, 1] \)
- \( B = (0, 1) \)

This task involves analyzing the cubic function \( f(x) = x^3 \) over two different domains:
- A closed interval \( A = [0, 1] \),
- An open interval \( B = (0, 1) \).

**Approach:**
- For the closed interval \( A \), use the Extreme Value Theorem to determine the maximum and minimum values since continuous functions on closed, bounded intervals have both.
- For the open interval \( B \), consider the endpoints and any critical points within the interval to evaluate whether the function attains its extreme values.

This exercise is intended for discussions on domain boundaries, continuity, and compactness in mathematical functions.
