 Twelve people travel in three cars with four people in
each car. Each car is driven by its owner. Find the
number of ways in which the remaining nine people
may be allocated to the cars. (The arrangement of
people within a particular car is not relevant.)

 The depth, y metres, of sea water in a bay t
hours after midnight may be represented
by a sinusoidal model.
 The water is at a maximum depth of 14.3 m
at midnight and noon, and is at a minimum
depth of 10.3 m at 06:00 and at 18:00.
 Write a function to model the depth and
use it to find the first time after noon when
the water is below 12 m.
