Please help me with this question.

== and
Let f(x)
if x > 0
g(x)
1
8 +
if x < 0
Show that f'(x) = g'(x) for all x in their domains. Can we conclude from the corollary below that f -g is constant?
If f'(x) = g'(x) for all x in an interval (a, b), then f- g is constant on (a, b); that is, f(x) = g(x) + c where c is a constant.
For x > 0, f(x) = g(x), so f'(x) = g'(x). For x < 0, f'(x) =
and g'(x) =
so f'(x) ? g'(x).
However, the domain of g(x) is not an interval [it is (-o, 0) U (0, 0)] so we cannot conclude that f- g is constant (in fact it is
not).
