To determine the appropriate landing speed of an airplane, the formula D = .1x 2 − 3x + 22 is used, where x is the initial landing speed in feet per second and D is the distance needed in feet. If the landing speed is too fast, the pilot may run out of runway; if the speed is too slow, the plane may stall. What is the appropriate landing speed if the runway is 800 feet long?

[tex]800=0.1x^2-3x+22\\ 0.1x^2-3x-778=0\\ \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot0.1\cdot(-778)=9+3112=3121\\ \sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3121}\\ x_1=\dfrac{-(-3)-\sqrt{3121}}{2\cdot0.1}=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{3121}}{0.2}=15-5\sqrt{3121}\approx-264.3\\ x_2=\dfrac{-(-3)+\sqrt{3121}}{2\cdot0.1}=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{3121}}{0.2}=15+5\sqrt{3121}\approx294.3[/tex]
