[Calculus] The tangent line to the curve $y = e ^ { x }$ at the point $( 1 , e )$ is tangent to the curve $y = 2 \sqrt { x - k }$. What is the value of the real number $k$? [3 points]
(1) $\frac { 1 } { e }$
(2) $\frac { 1 } { e ^ { 2 } }$
(3) $\frac { 1 } { e ^ { 4 } }$
(4) $\frac { 1 } { 1 + e }$
(5) $\frac { 1 } { 1 + e ^ { 2 } }$
