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.

standard_description: Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Write each rational number in the form
$${a\over{b}}$$
, where
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
are integers, and
$$b\neq0$$
.
a.
$${0.3333}$$
b.
$${-5.05}$$
c.
$${\sqrt{64}}$$
e.
$${\sqrt{4\over25}}$$
f.
$${\sqrt{1.21}}$$
Problem 2
A student wrote two repeating decimals as fractions using the strategy shown below.
| Given the decimal                       $$0.\overline{12}$$                       Let                       $$x=0.\overline{12}$$                       Then                         $$100x=12.\overline{12}$$              |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG|  |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG| image:: https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2a.PNG | Given the decimal                       $$0.\overline{123}$$                       Let                       $$x=0.\overline{123}$$                       Then                       $$1000x=123.\overline{123}$$             |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG|  |https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG| image:: https://d37su8u1z9ynie.cloudfront.net/uploads/2019/02/06/math8_u7_l5_ap2b.PNG |
