When an object is dropped, its height h can be determined after
t seconds by using the falling object model h 5 216t 2 1 s where s is
the initial height. Find the time it takes an object to hit the ground
when it is dropped from a height of s feet.

38. New Car From 1970 to 1990, the average cost of a new car C (in dollars) can be
approximated by the model C 5 30.5t 2 1 4192 where t is the number of years since
1970. During which year was the average cost of a new car $7242?
