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: 
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).

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


Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only one variable, x.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

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: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (3,−3)$. Sketch $P_1$ and
$P_2$. For which real numbers $m$ and $b$ does the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x) = mx+b$ contain $P_1$? Explain. Do any of these graphs also contain $P_2$? Explain.
Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (0,7)$.  Sketch $P_1$ and $P_2$.  Are there real numbers $m$ and $b$ for which the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x)=mx+b$ contains $P_1$ and $P_2$? Explain.
Now suppose $P_1= (c,d)$ and $P_2 = (g,h)$ and $c$ is not equal to $g$. Show that there is only one real number $m$ and only one real number $b$ for which the graph of $f(x)=mx+b$ contains the points $P_1$ and $P_2$.
