If the discriminant is a positive number, there will be 2 possible solutions. If you replace the entire section of b²-4ac with 16, you will see that the equation becomes; (-b+-√16)/2a --> leading to an answer with the + and another with the -.
If the discriminant is 0, there will be 1 possible solution, (again replace this into the discriminant value) (-b)/2a ---> this formula is used to also find the x coordinates of a vertex, fyi.
If the discriminant is a negative number, there will be no solution (since squareroot of a negative number is not possible)
Hope I helped :)
Assuming your question is how much farther has Horse A traveled than Horse B.
So after 5 seconds, Horse A already traveled 160 feet.
While Horse B, after 5 seconds traveled 140 feet.
So the difference is 20 feet.

Area of a circle is computed by multiplying pi to the square of the circle's radius.
A = πr²
50m² = 3.14 r²
50m²/3.14 = r²
r² = 15.92m²
r = √15.92m²
r = 3.99m
Diameter is computed by multiplying the radius twice.
d = 2r
d = 2(3.99m)
d = 7.98m or rounded up to 8 m
