Exercise 1 Page 338

We are given a function that models the acceleration of a carnival ride.

a = 0.2 v^{2}

In this equation,

a

represents the acceleration towards the center of the ride in meters per second and

v

is the velocity in meters per second. We are asked to graph this function. To help us do that, let's create a table of values for the given function. First, we will fill in the

v

column with any values of

v .

$v$	$0.2 v^{2}$	$a$
$0$
$1$
$1.5$
$2$
$2.5$
$3$
