How the payoff function equation was determined in this problem ? Game Theory

Hi,

I have attached the screenshot of the problem. I like to know how the equation v(a)= 2a-4a^2 was determined. Can some please kindly explain me ?

In this case,the pay-off function has been assumed (not derived).

They don't provide a derivation of the function. They provide only the function itself. Given only this information, there is no way to tell how they derived the function. Sorry.
