Entangled Functions

Problem

Functions f(x),g(x)f(x), g(x) on R\mathbb{R} have derivatives f′(x),g′(x)f'(x), g'(x), and

g(x)−f(3−x)=2,f′(x)=g′(x−1),g(−x+2)=−g(x+2).g(x) - f(3 - x) = 2, \qquad f'(x) = g'(x - 1), \qquad g(-x + 2) = -g(x + 2).

Determine, with proof, which of the following must be true:

1. g(x+2)g(x + 2) is even; 2. f′(x+2)f'(x + 2) is odd; 3. f(x)f(x) is periodic; 4. ∑k=12024g(k)=0\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{2024} g(k) = 0.
