The distance from A to B is 1 200 m. At exactly the same time as the hunter started to move in an easterly direction towards B, the deer started to move in a southerly direction towards D. The hunter moves at 4 metres per second and the deer moves at 5 metres per second. After t seconds, the hunter is at a point H and the deer is at point D. A H B D The hunter tries to shoot the deer but with his caliber rifle he must be at most 800 m from the deer. 9.1 Show that the distance between the hunter and the deer (HD) at t seconds after they both started moving can be written as: HD(t) = 41t 2 - 9 600t + 1 440 000 (4) 9.2 How long after they started walking, were they the nearest to one another?

In the event of a draw, the winner will be determined by a penalty- flick shootout. On the day that the final game of the North West Hockey tournament takes place, there is a 45% chance that it could rain, a 32% chance that it could be cloudy or it could be sunny. The team from Taung, a low rainfall area, has an 18% chance of winning the tournament on a rainy day, a 39% chance of winning on a cloudy day and a 63% chance of winning on a sunny day. 10.1 Draw a tree diagram to represent all outcomes of the above information.

He has 4 stallions (male horses) and 5 mares (female horses), where one of the stallions is his breeding stallion and one of the mares his breeding mare. The horses are placed randomly in the stables. 11.1 In how many different ways can the 9 horses be placed in the 9 stables? (1) 11.2 In how many different ways can the 9 horses be placed if the breeder wants to place the breeding stallion and breeding mare next to each another? (2) 11.3 What is the probability that there will be a mare placed on both ends of the row stables? (3) 11.4 If 5 stables became unavailable due to renovations, in how many different ways can the breeder place his horses in the remaining single stables such that there will be at least one mare in these stables?
