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.

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.
