<h3>e. What is the domain when the function is decreasing?</h3>The parts of the decreasing domain are:
- From 2 to 3 hours.
- From 3 and a half to 4 hours.
In the graph, you can see these decreasing intervals, which are characterized by a downwards direction of the line.
<h3>f. What is the domain when the function is constant?</h3>The parts where the function is constant:
