Question:

A student reasons that the functions f(x) = (x + 1)ln (x + 1) - x and g(x) = (x + 1)1/3 must have the same derivative since she has entered f(x), g(x), f ′(x), and g′(x) into a graphing calculator, but only three graphs appear (see the figure). Is her reasoning correct? Are f ′(x) and g′(x) the same function? Explain.
