The function must have a negative rate of change at the point where t < 3
Given the equation expressed as;
For the function to have a negative rate of change then;
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} < 0[/tex]
Differentiate the function:
[tex]2(t - 3) < 0\\2t-6 < 0\\t < 3[/tex]
Hence the function must have a negative rate of change at the point where t < 3
