Write a recursive function named is_decreasing that takes as its parameter a list of numbers. It should return True if the elements of the list are strictly decreasing (each element in the array is strictly less than the previous one), but return False otherwise. You can assume the array contains at least two elements.
You are free to use a helper function if desired, meaning that you can write a function that takes the specified parameters and have it call your recursive function with any additional parameters it needs.
The file must be named: is_decreasing. py

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
