Today is October 3rd, so in honor of Zlatan Ibrahimović's birthday, we will be discussing one of his best goals.

In the video above, Ibrahimović scores off a beautiful bicycle kick that arches over all the defenders. Assume the ball follows the path of y=105+32x−x2y = 105+32x-x^2, where yy represents the height of the ball, and xx represents the horizontal distance from the goal, in yards.

How far from the goal was Ibrahimović when he kicked the ball? Give the positive zero of the parabola.
