1. The speed v(L) (in m/sec) of an ocean wave in deep water is approximated by v(L) = 1.2√L, where L
(in meters) is the wavelength of the wave. (The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive wave
crests.)
a) Find the average rate of change in speed between waves that are between 1 m and 4 m in length.
b) Find the average rate of change in speed between waves that are between 4 m and 9 m in length.
