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: Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.
problem_activity: Task
According to Wikipedia, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) requires that a basketball bounce to a height of 1300 mm when dropped from a height of 1800 mm.
Suppose you drop a basketball and the ratio of each rebound height to the previous rebound height is 1300:1800. Let $h$ be the function that assigns to $n$ the rebound height of the ball (in mm) on the $n^{\rm th}$ bounce. Complete the chart below, rounding to the nearest mm.
| $n$ | $h(n)$ |
|-----|--------|
|  0  |  1800  |
|  1  |        |
|  2  |        |
|  3  |        |
Write an expression for $h(n)$.
Solve an equation to determine on which bounce the basketball will first have a height of less than 100 mm.
