Answer

They do not have the same domains, thus f and g are not the same function.

Work Step by Step

The domain of a real function ( a function defined on real numbers) is the set of numbers for which f(x) is defined (for which f(x) can be calculated). $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{x} $ is not defined for $x=0.$ $g(x)=x$ is defined for all real numbers. They do not have the same domains, thus the functions are not the same function.
