Analyzing Production Trade-offs

A farmer's daily production of grain (c, in bushels) is related to their hours of free time (t) by the function c(t) = 100 * ln(25 - t). The total available time in a day is 25 hours. Consider the effect of reducing free time by one hour to increase work time. As the farmer gives up more and more hours of free time (i.e., as t gets smaller), does the amount of additional grain they gain from each extra hour of work increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning by describing the behavior of the given mathematical function.
