Concept explainers
To explain : Why at some point during this feat the trireme’s speed exceeds 7.5 knots.

Answer to Problem 13E
The possible explanation is given below.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Classical count tells us that a 170-oar trireme once covered 184 sea miles in 24 h.
Calculation :
According to the mean value theorem, for the average slope in this case the speed for the whole function, there must be a point on the function that must be equals the average.
Also, the trireme covered 184 sea miles in 24 hours, so the average will be
