1. Problem Description

The image contains a set of mathematical problems related to a function f(x)f(x). The tasks include calculating the derivative f(x)f'(x) and determining its sign, creating a table of variations (TV) for ff, studying the relative position of the curve CfC_f with respect to its oblique asymptote (Δ)(\Delta), proving that ff has an inverse function f1f^{-1} and giving its table of variations, calculating f(0)f(0) and deducing the sign of ff, showing that f1(0)=12f^{-1}(0) = -\frac{1}{2} and finding the equations of the tangents T1T_1 and T2T_2 to CfC_f at the points with abscissa 0 and 1, finding the points where CfC_f intersects the axes, plotting CfC_f and Cf1C_{f^{-1}} on the same orthonormal coordinate system with unit length 2cm, and calculating the area enclosed by CfC_f, (Δ)(\Delta), and the lines x=1x = -1 and xx.

2. Solution Steps

Since the function f(x)f(x) 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 f(x)f'(x), apply the rules of differentiation depending on the specific form of f(x)f(x) (e.g., power rule, product rule, chain rule). To determine the sign of f(x)f'(x), find the critical points where f(x)=0f'(x) = 0 or is undefined. Create a sign chart using test values in the intervals defined by these critical points. The table of variations (TV) for ff can then be constructed using the sign of f(x)f'(x) to indicate where ff is increasing or decreasing.
b) To study the relative position of CfC_f with respect to its oblique asymptote (Δ)(\Delta), find the equation of the oblique asymptote (Δ)(\Delta). Then, study the sign of the difference f(x)(equation of Δ)f(x) - (\text{equation of } \Delta). If f(x)(equation of Δ)>0f(x) - (\text{equation of } \Delta) > 0, CfC_f is above (Δ)(\Delta). If f(x)(equation of Δ)<0f(x) - (\text{equation of } \Delta) < 0, CfC_f is below (Δ)(\Delta). If f(x)(equation of Δ)=0f(x) - (\text{equation of } \Delta) = 0, CfC_f intersects (Δ)(\Delta).
2a) To prove that ff has an inverse function f1f^{-1}, show that ff 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 ff over the corresponding intervals.
b) To calculate f(0)f(0), substitute x=0x=0 into the expression for f(x)f(x). The sign of f(0)f(0) is simply whether the value is positive or negative.
3a) To show that f1(0)=12f^{-1}(0) = -\frac{1}{2}, you would need to know what f(x)f(x) is. This implies that f(12)=0f(-\frac{1}{2}) = 0. To find the equation of the tangent T1T_1 to CfC_f at x=0x=0, use the formula y=f(0)(x0)+f(0)y = f'(0)(x-0) + f(0). To find the equation of the tangent T2T_2 to CfC_f at x=1x=1, use the formula y=f(1)(x1)+f(1)y = f'(1)(x-1) + f(1).
b) To find the points where CfC_f intersects the axes, set x=0x=0 to find the yy-intercept (which is already calculated as f(0)f(0)), and set f(x)=0f(x) = 0 to find the xx-intercept(s).
c) Plot CfC_f and Cf1C_{f^{-1}} on the same coordinate system. Remember that Cf1C_{f^{-1}} is the reflection of CfC_f over the line y=xy=x.
pa4a) To calculate the area enclosed by CfC_f, (Δ)(\Delta), and the lines x=1x = -1 and xx, integrate the absolute value of the difference between f(x)f(x) and the equation of the asymptote (Δ)(\Delta) from x=1x=-1 to xx:
Area=1xf(t)(equation of Δ)dtArea = \int_{-1}^{x} |f(t) - (\text{equation of } \Delta)| dt.
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 (2 cm)2=4 cm2(2 \text{ cm})^2 = 4 \text{ cm}^2 to get the area in cm2^2.

3. Final Answer

Due to the lack of the explicit form of f(x)f(x), I cannot provide numerical solutions. The above are the steps needed to derive the solution of the problem.
