Finding parameter values from differentiability or equation constraints
Questions requiring determination of unknown constants so that a piecewise or parametric function satisfies differentiability conditions, satisfies a differential equation, or meets other analytic constraints.
For the function $$f ( x ) = \begin{cases} - x & ( x \leq 0 ) \\ x - 1 & ( 0 < x \leq 2 ) \\ 2 x - 3 & ( x > 2 ) \end{cases}$$ and a non-constant polynomial $p ( x )$, which of the following statements are correct? [4 points] ㄱ. If the function $p ( x ) f ( x )$ is continuous on the entire set of real numbers, then $p ( 0 ) = 0$. ㄴ. If the function $p ( x ) f ( x )$ is differentiable on the entire set of real numbers, then $p ( 2 ) = 0$. ㄷ. If the function $p ( x ) \{ f ( x ) \} ^ { 2 }$ is differentiable on the entire set of real numbers, then $p ( x )$ is divisible by $x ^ { 2 } ( x - 2 ) ^ { 2 }$.

For a positive real number $t$, let $f ( t )$ be the value of the real number $a$ such that the curve $y = t ^ { 3 } \ln ( x - t )$ meets the curve $y = 2 e ^ { x - a }$ at exactly one point. Find the value of $\left\{ f ^ { \prime } \left( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) \right\} ^ { 2 }$. [4 points]
Two polynomial functions $f ( x )$ and $g ( x )$ satisfy $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow 0 } \frac { f ( x ) + g ( x ) } { x } = 3 , \quad \lim _ { x \rightarrow 0 } \frac { f ( x ) + 3 } { x g ( x ) } = 2$$ For the function $h ( x ) = f ( x ) g ( x )$, what is the value of $h ^ { \prime } ( 0 )$?
