It is shown if the germs of 2 real-valued functions \(f\) and \(g\) are not equivalent then the germs of \(f+q\) and \(g+q\), where \(q\) is a quadratic form, are also not equivalent. The persistence of inequivalence under the addition of quadratic forms in new variables is essential for the classification of critical points in catastrophe theory.
