The image contains a set of mathematical problems related to a function $f(x)$. The tasks include calculating the derivative $f'(x)$ and determining its sign, creating a table of variations (TV) for $f$, studying the relative position of the curve $C_f$ with respect to its oblique asymptote $(\Delta)$, proving that $f$ has an inverse function $f^{-1}$ and giving its table of variations, calculating $f(0)$ and deducing the sign of $f$, showing that $f^{-1}(0) = -\frac{1}{2}$ and finding the equations of the tangents $T_1$ and $T_2$ to $C_f$ at the points with abscissa 0 and 1, finding the points where $C_f$ intersects the axes, plotting $C_f$ and $C_{f^{-1}}$ on the same orthonormal coordinate system with unit length 2cm, and calculating the area enclosed by $C_f$, $(\Delta)$, and the lines $x = -1$ and $x$.

2. Solution Steps
Since the function is not given explicitly, I cannot solve the problems numerically. However, I will outline the general steps required to solve each part:
a) To calculate , apply the rules of differentiation depending on the specific form of (e.g., power rule, product rule, chain rule). To determine the sign of , find the critical points where or is undefined. Create a sign chart using test values in the intervals defined by these critical points. The table of variations (TV) for can then be constructed using the sign of to indicate where is increasing or decreasing.
b) To study the relative position of with respect to its oblique asymptote , find the equation of the oblique asymptote . Then, study the sign of the difference . If , is above . If , is below . If , intersects .
2a) To prove that has an inverse function , show that is strictly monotonic (either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing) over its domain. Then, you can determine the TV of the inverse function as the range of over the corresponding intervals.
b) To calculate , substitute into the expression for . The sign of is simply whether the value is positive or negative.
3a) To show that , you would need to know what is. This implies that . To find the equation of the tangent to at , use the formula . To find the equation of the tangent to at , use the formula .
b) To find the points where intersects the axes, set to find the -intercept (which is already calculated as ), and set to find the -intercept(s).
c) Plot and on the same coordinate system. Remember that is the reflection of over the line .
pa4a) To calculate the area enclosed by , , and the lines and , integrate the absolute value of the difference between and the equation of the asymptote from to :
.
Since the scale is 2cm per unit, the area calculated by the integral will be in units squared. You need to multiply this result by to get the area in cm.
3. Final Answer
Due to the lack of the explicit form of , I cannot provide numerical solutions. The above are the steps needed to derive the solution of the problem.
