Two young mathematicians examine one (or two?) functions once again.

Check out this dialogue between two calculus students (based on a true story):
Devyn
Riley, I have another pressing question.
Riley
Sure, what is it?
Devyn
Think about the function
Riley
Okay. What about it?
Devyn
Is this function equal to ?
Riley
Well if I plot them with my calculator, they look the same.
Devyn
I know! But remember when we realized before that and are not the same function? I think this could be a similar situation.
Riley
Okay, let’s check. I suppose I could write
Devyn
Right! But what about when ? In this case,
Riley
Okay, is undefined because we cannot divide by zero. Hmm...
In the context above, are and the same function?
yes no
Suppose and are functions but the domain of is different from the domain of . Could it be that and are actually the same function?
yes no
If you simplify a function and realize the simplified form is , is it possible that and have different domains and are therefore different functions?
yes no
