for #2 I used l'hopital's rule because if you were to plug in 9 you would get 0/0. for #29 i set the two equations to each other, found the derivative, set it equal to zero (it equals zero at t=0 and 2/3) and found out at which root is it a minimum
To further Maria's explaination a little, for number 29 you can also make distance d(t)=s1(t)-s2(t). You get the same answer, but that's my reasoning behind it, because of course the distance between them should be the difference.
