The graphs of the quadratic function $y = f ( x )$ and the cubic function $y = g ( x )$ are shown in the figure.
$f ( - 1 ) = f ( 3 ) = 0$, and the function $g ( x )$ has a local minimum value of $- 2$ at $x = 3$. What is the number of distinct real roots of the equation $\frac { g ( x ) + 2 } { f ( x ) } - \frac { 2 } { g ( x ) } = 1$? [3 points]
