The flight of a kicked football follows the quadratic

The flight of a kicked football follows the quadratic function f(x) = -0.02x² +2.2x +2, where f(x) is the vertical distance in feet and is the horizontal distance the ball travels. How far, in feet, will the ball travel across the field by the time it hits the ground? Round your answer to one decimal place.
