Final Answer:

The graph of the function can be sketched as follows:
f'(x) is 1 for x < -1, decreases to 0 at x = 0, stays at 0 until x = 4, and then decreases again. The limit as x approaches 2 of
f'(x) is not determined from the given conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch the graph satisfying the given conditions, let's analyze each condition:

1.
\(f'(0) = f'(4) = 0\) implies that there are critical points at x = 0 and x = 4.

2.
\(f'(x) = 1\) if \(x < -1\) indicates a constant positive slope before x = -1.

3.
\(f'(x) < 0\) if \(-1 < x < 4\) implies a decreasing slope in the interval
\(-1 < x < 4\)

Combining these conditions, we can sketch a function that increases to x = -1, remains constant until x = 0, decreases until x = 4, and remains constant afterward.

However, the limit of
\(f'(x)\) as
(x) approaches 2 is not specified in the given conditions. It could be any value, and the graph can have various shapes depending on this unspecified limit.
