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: 
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only 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: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve drawing lines that are tangent to circles. The only line that may be drawn is the ray between points P and B.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Jack mixes yellow and blue paint to make a green paint that he will use to paint his basement. He uses a ratio of 3 pints of yellow paint for every 2 pints of blue paint. Jack pours 18 pints of yellow paint into a bucket.
a.   How many pints of blue paint should Jack add to the bucket?
b.   Jack's friend Kyle wants to help paint. Kyle said he has a green paint that is 9 parts yellow paint to 4 parts blue paint. Is Kyle's paint the same shade green as Jack's? Explain why or why not.
Problem 2
Terrance bikes 3.6 miles to school in 18 minutes. Jacqueline bikes 5.4 miles to school in 30 minutes. Assuming each student rode at a constant speed, who is traveling at a faster speed?
Problem 3
At the corner market, you can buy rice by the pound. The table below shows some weights and their corresponding costs.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:Fixed; width:50%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Rice (lbs.)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Cost ($)"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "2"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "11"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "10"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "55"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "13"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "?"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "?"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "88"}]}]}]}]}
a.   How much does 13 pounds of rice cost?
b.   How many pounds of rice can you buy with $88?
