          Consider the function $g(t) = f_0(z(t))$. It is given that
          $$
          g'(0) = lim_{t to 0} frac{g(t) - g(0)}{t-0}
          $$

          exists and is negative. From the definition of the limit it follows that
          there is a $delta > 0$ such that
          $$
          frac{g(t) - g(0)}{t-0} < frac 12 g'(0)
          $$

          for $|t| < delta$. Consequently, for $0 < t < delta$,
          $$
          g(t) < g(0) + frac t2 g'(0) < g(0) , .
          $$

            And why can you be sure that it's not $0$ or positive for small positive $t$?
