00:00 Find the domain of decrease of the function
00:03 A function decreases when X values increase and Y values decrease
00:06 We can see that the function decreases until X=-1
00:15 Therefore the domain of decrease will be while X is less than (-1)
00:21 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-step solution

Let's remember that the function increases if the X values and Y values increase simultaneously.

On the other hand, the function decreases if the X values increase and the Y values decrease simultaneously.

In the graph, we can see that the function decreases in the domain where x<1 x < -1 , meaning that the Y values are decreasing.
