1. Differentiate the function with respect to $x$.
Let .
Using the chain rule and quotient rule:
2. Set up the inequality for a decreasing function.
For the graph to be decreasing, .
3. Solve the inequality to find the range of $x$.
Since the numerator is negative, the denominator must be positive for the fraction to be negative.
Solving this quadratic inequality gives:
