Question:

To determine the appropriate landing speed of a small airplane, the formula

D = 0.1s2 - 3s + 22

is used, where s is the initial landing speed in feet per second and D is the length of the runway 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. If the runway is 800 ft long, what is the appropriate landing speed? Round to the nearest tenth.
