Two functions are always equivalent if they produce same output for a specific input value.
Consider two functions which produce same output for a specific value.
In general ,let f(x) = a and g(x) = a. But f need not be the same function as g.
Still f and g are said to be equivalent functions.
To make this assertion clear, consider two functions [tex]f(x)=x[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=\frac{x^2}{x}[/tex].
They are equivalent functions. Because the output produced by both functions will be same for a specific input.
For example, f(2) = 2 and g(2) = 2 , f(7) = 7 and g(7) = 7 , etc.
In other way, f(x) is clearly a simplification of g(x) itself. So clearly both the functions will give same output for same input of values.
Hence such functions are always equivalent.
