(a) Let ff and gg be functions from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R} and suppose that both ff and gg are differentiable at the real number xx. Prove that the product fgf g is also differentiable at xx.

(b) Let ff be a continuous function from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R} and let g(x)=x2f(x)g(x)=x^{2} f(x) for every xx. Prove that gg is differentiable at xx if and only if either x=0x=0 or ff is differentiable at xx.

(c) Now let ff be any continuous function from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R} and let g(x)=f(x)2g(x)=f(x)^{2} for every xx. Prove that gg is differentiable at xx if and only if at least one of the following two possibilities occurs:

(i) ff is differentiable at xx;

(ii) f(x)=0f(x)=0 and

f(x+h)h1/20 as h0\frac{f(x+h)}{|h|^{1 / 2}} \longrightarrow 0 \quad \text { as } \quad h \rightarrow 0
