Example 1:
Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

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


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:
Concept/skill: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

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


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

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

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 $P$.


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: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
problem_activity: Task
A function machine takes an input, and based on some rule produces an output.
[IMG]
The tables below show some input-output pairs for different functions. For each table, describe a function rule in words that would produce the given outputs from the corresponding inputs. Then fill in the rest of the table values as inputs and outputs which are consistent with that rule.
Input values can be any English word. Output values are letters from the English alphabet.
$\ \ \ \ \ $
| input  |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| output |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Input values can be any rational number. Output values can be any rational number.
| input  |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| output |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Input values can be any whole number. Output values can be any whole number.
| input  |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| output |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Input values can be any whole number between 1 and 365. Output values can be any month of the year.
| input  |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| output |   |   |   |   |   |   |
For at least one of the tables, describe a second rule which fits the given pairs but ultimately produces different pairs than the first rule for the rest of the table.
