Due to the poor quality of the image, I can only attempt to answer parts of it.

1. Problem Description

From what I can decipher, the problem involves analyzing a function f(x)=x4xf(x) = -x - \frac{4}{x} and answering questions related to limits, derivatives, and possibly areas.

2. Solution Steps

Let's analyze parts of the visible questions:

1. It appears to ask about the limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches $0^+$ and $x$ approaches $+\infty$. It wants us to determine what happens to $f(x)$ in these cases.

As x0+x \to 0^+, f(x)=x4x4xf(x) = -x - \frac{4}{x} \approx -\frac{4}{x} \to -\infty.
As x+x \to +\infty, f(x)=x4xxf(x) = -x - \frac{4}{x} \approx -x \to -\infty.

2. It refers to the line $y = -x$ and seems to ask about asymptotes related to $(C)$.

Since limx[f(x)(x)]=limx[x4x+x]=limx4x=0\lim_{x \to \infty} [f(x) - (-x)] = \lim_{x \to \infty} [-x - \frac{4}{x} + x] = \lim_{x \to \infty} -\frac{4}{x} = 0, then y=xy=-x is an asymptote.

3. It asks us to find where $f'(x) < 0$. This means we need to find the derivative of $f(x)$:

f(x)=x4x=x4x1f(x) = -x - \frac{4}{x} = -x - 4x^{-1}
f(x)=1+4x2=1+4x2=4x2x2f'(x) = -1 + 4x^{-2} = -1 + \frac{4}{x^2} = \frac{4 - x^2}{x^2}
To solve f(x)<0f'(x) < 0, we have 4x2x2<0\frac{4 - x^2}{x^2} < 0. Since x>0x > 0, x2>0x^2 > 0, so we must have 4x2<04 - x^2 < 0, meaning x2>4x^2 > 4. Thus x>2|x| > 2, but since it says x>0x > 0, we must have x>2x > 2.

3. Final Answer

1. $\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = -\infty$ and $\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x) = -\infty$.

2. $y = -x$ is an asymptote of $f(x)$.

3. $f'(x) < 0$ when $x > 2$.
