Due to the image quality, some values are missing, and only a part of the questions can be solved. I will solve the parts of the problem that are readable.

2. Solution Steps

1. Calculate $f(1)$, $f(0)$ and $f(2)$.

Given f(x)=x2x+f(x) = x^2 - x + \dots, let's denote the missing constant by cc. So f(x)=x2x+cf(x) = x^2 - x + c.
f(1)=(1)2(1)+c=11+c=cf(1) = (1)^2 - (1) + c = 1 - 1 + c = c
f(0)=(0)2(0)+c=00+c=cf(0) = (0)^2 - (0) + c = 0 - 0 + c = c
f(2)=(2)2(2)+c=42+c=2+cf(2) = (2)^2 - (2) + c = 4 - 2 + c = 2 + c

2. Geometric Interpretation

Since f(1)=f(0)=cf(1) = f(0) = c, it means that the points (1,c)(1, c) and (0,c)(0, c) lie on the curve of the function f(x)f(x). Also, f(2)=2+cf(2) = 2 + c, which implies the point (2,2+c)(2, 2+c) lies on the curve of f(x)f(x).

3. (a) Verify that $f$ is differentiable on $R$ and calculate $f'(x)$ for all $x \in R$.

Since f(x)=x2x+cf(x) = x^2 - x + c is a polynomial function, it is differentiable on RR. The derivative is:
f(x)=ddx(x2x+c)=2x1f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 - x + c) = 2x - 1

3. (b) Solve the equation $f'(x) = 0$ in $R$ and deduce the monotonicity of $f$ on $R$.

We need to solve f(x)=0f'(x) = 0, i.e., 2x1=02x - 1 = 0.
2x=12x = 1
x=12x = \frac{1}{2}
Now, we study the sign of f(x)f'(x).
If x<12x < \frac{1}{2}, then 2x<12x < 1, so 2x1<02x - 1 < 0, thus f(x)<0f'(x) < 0.
If x>12x > \frac{1}{2}, then 2x>12x > 1, so 2x1>02x - 1 > 0, thus f(x)>0f'(x) > 0.
Therefore, f(x)f(x) is decreasing on (,12](-\infty, \frac{1}{2}] and increasing on [12,)[\frac{1}{2}, \infty).

3. (c) Sketch the table of variations of $f$.

| x | -inf | 1/2 | +inf |
| :----- | :---------- | :---------- | :---------- |
| f'(x) | - | 0 | + |
| f(x) | \ decreasing | f(1/2) | / increasing |
f(12)=(12)212+c=1412+c=14+cf(\frac{1}{2}) = (\frac{1}{2})^2 - \frac{1}{2} + c = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} + c = -\frac{1}{4} + c

5. (b) Show that $\dots$ is the minimal value of $f$ on $R$ by specifying the point where it occurs.

From the table of variations, we can deduce that f(12)=14+cf(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{1}{4} + c is the minimum value of f(x)f(x) on RR, which is achieved at x=12x = \frac{1}{2}.

5. (c) Show that the tangent $(T)$ to $(C_f)$ at $\dots$ is parallel to the x-axis, and determine its equation.

The tangent to (Cf)(C_f) is parallel to the x-axis when the derivative is zero. We already found that f(12)=0f'(\frac{1}{2}) = 0. So the tangent at x=12x=\frac{1}{2} is parallel to the x-axis.
The equation of the tangent at x=12x = \frac{1}{2} is:
y=f(12)(x12)+f(12)y = f'(\frac{1}{2})(x - \frac{1}{2}) + f(\frac{1}{2})
y=0(x12)+(14+c)y = 0(x - \frac{1}{2}) + (-\frac{1}{4} + c)
y=14+cy = -\frac{1}{4} + c

3. Final Answer

1. $f(1) = c$, $f(0) = c$, $f(2) = 2 + c$

2. $(1, c)$, $(0, c)$ and $(2, 2+c)$ lie on the curve of $f(x)$.

3. (a) $f'(x) = 2x - 1$

(b) x=12x = \frac{1}{2}, decreasing on (,12](-\infty, \frac{1}{2}], increasing on [12,)[\frac{1}{2}, \infty).
(c) See the table of variations above.
