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


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

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: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
problem_activity: Problem 1
The average monthly temperature, in degrees Celsius, in a coastal city in the United States is periodic and can be modeled with the equation
$${y=-8\mathrm{cos}\left((x-1)\left(\pi\over6\right)\right)+17.5}$$
, where
$$x$$
represents the month,
$$x=1$$
represents January, and
$$y$$
represents the average temperature in degrees Celsius.
Below is the graph of the equation.
