The function \(\text{a} = 0.2\text{v}^{2}\) models the acceleration of a carnival ride, where a is the acceleration toward the center of the ride in meter per second every seconds and v is the velocity in meters per second. Graph this function. Then use your graph to estimate the velocity of the ride at an acceleration of 1 meter per second every second.

\(\text{y} = 3\text{x}^2\)

\(\text{y} = -5\text{x}^{2}\)
