Example:
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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.
problem_activity: The estimated size for a population of rabbits and a population of coyotes in a desert habitat are shown in the table. The estimated population sizes were recorded as a part of a long-term study related to the effect of commercial development on native animal species.

Write the function for each situation and then calculate the two different numbers of years where the population estimate is about 13,000 for rabbits and 2,100 for coyotes.
