Provide an appropriate response.A trucker handed in a ticket at a toll booth showing that in 3 hours he had covered 223 miles on a toll road with speed limit 65 mph. The trucker was cited for speeding. Why?

What will be an ideal response?


As the trucker's average speed was 74 mph, the Mean Value Theorem implies that the trucker must have been going that speed at least once during the trip.
