Piecewise function differentiability

Let h:R→Rh:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} and g:R→Rg:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be two bounded functions. Define the function f:R→Rf:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} by f(x)={xg(x)+x2h(x),x>0,cx+dx2,x≤0,f(x)=\begin{cases}xg(x)+x^{2}h(x),&x>0,\\cx+dx^{2},&x\le 0,\end{cases} where c,dc,d are real constants. Consider the following statements. PP: If c=g(0)=h(0)c=g(0)=h(0), then ff is differentiable at x=0x=0. QQ: If ff, gg, and hh are thrice differentiable functions with g(0)=0g(0)=0 and g′(0)+h(0)>0g'(0)+h(0)>0, then ff has a local minimum at x=0x=0. Then
