Problem Statement

Let I,J I,J be two intervals, φ:JR \varphi :J\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} be a continuous function whose image doesn't contain 0, 0, and f,g:IJ f,g:I\longrightarrow J be two differentiable functions such that f=φf,g=φg f'=\varphi\circ f,g'=\varphi\circ g and such that the image of fg f-g contains 0. 0. Show that f f and g g are the same function.
