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: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
- Reporting the number of observations.
- Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
- Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
- Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.

a.   Arrange the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest temperature.
b.   On a winter day, the low temperature in Anchorage was
$$23$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C, and the low temperature in Minneapolis was
$$14$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C. Sophia wrote: “Minneapolis was colder because
$$-14 < -23$$
.” Is Sophia's statement correct? Explain your answer.
c.   The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was
$$-89$$
°C in Antarctica. The average temperature on Mars is about
$$-55$$
°C. Which is warmer, the coldest temperature on Earth or the average temperature on Mars? Write an inequality to support your answer.
Problem 3
The elevation of New Orleans, Louisiana, is
$$7$$
feet below sea level. The elevation of Coachella, California, is
$$-72$$
feet. Write an inequality to compare the elevations of the two cities.
