Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
Task
Solve the quadratic equation
$$ x^2 = (2x - 9)^2 $$
using as many different methods as possible.


Concept/skill: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

Answer: 
Yes. This task shows one quadratic equation with one variable, x.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:
[IMG]
Draw a circle with center $P$ and with  radius $r \gt 0$.  Explain why the circle
meets each ray of angle $A$ in a single point.  Label these points $Q$ and $R$ respectively.
Draw circles with centers $Q$ and $R$ respectively and radius $r$.  These circles meet at $P$ and a second point to be labelled $B$.
Show that ray $\overrightarrow{PB}$  bisects angle $P$.


Concept/skill: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

problem_activity: Problem 1
The functions below are parent functions. Graph each one. Use either technology or a table of values where needed.
$${y=x}$$
$${y=x}^2$$
$${y=x}^3$$
$${y=|x|}$$
$${y=\sqrt{x}}$$
$${y=\sqrt[3]{x}}$$
Problem 2
Consider the two functions below.
$${{f(x)}=|x|}$$
$${{g(x)}=|x|+2}$$
Create a table of values for each function and use it to graph each function in the coordinate plane.
Looking at the tables and the graphs, what changed from the parent function,
$${f(x)}$$
, to the new function,
$${g(x)}$$
? What is the same?
Look at the corresponding work in the Desmos activity,
Introduction to Transformations of Functions
, slides 3–6.
Problem 3
Predict what the tables and graph would look like for each function below. Then refer to slide 7 in the Desmos activity,
Introduction to Transformations of Functions
, to try out other values for
$$k$$
.
$${y=|x|+5}$$
$${y=|x|-1}$$
$$y=|x|+k$$
A different parent function and transformations are shown below. Predict what each graph would look like. Then refer to slides 8–14 in the Desmos activity.
$${y=x^2}$$
$${y=x^2}+5$$
$${y=x^2}-1$$
$${y=x^2}+k$$
