Question-based on, "distance in fee the ball traveled".

 

I have tried it but still confused.

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

A ball is thrown across a playing field from a height of h = 4 ft above the ground at an angle of 45° to the horizontal at the speed of 20 ft/s. It can be deduced from physical principles that the path of the ball
is modeled by the function
32
y = -
(20)2
+ x + 4
where x is the distance in feet that the ball has traveled horizontally.
