Let $f: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be a function which is differentiable at $0$. Define another function $g: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ as follows: $$g(x) = \begin{cases} f(x)\sin\left(\frac 1x\right) ~ &\text{if} ~ x \neq 0 \\ 0 &\text{if} ~ x = 0. \end{cases}$$ Suppose that $g$ is also differentiable at $0$. Prove that \[g'(0) = f'(0) = f(0) = g(0) = 0.\]
