Example 1:
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.

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


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).

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

Example 3:
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 $P$.


Concept/skill: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

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.

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

standard_description: Find inverse functions.
problem_activity: Task
The table below shows some input-output pairs of two functions $f$ and $g$ that agree for the values that are given but some of their output values are missing.
|  $t$   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $f(t)$ |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
| $g(t)$ |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Complete the table in a way so that $f$ could be invertible and so that $g$ is definitely not invertible.
Graph both functions and explain from the graph why $f$ is invertible and $g$ is not.
Come up with two real life situations that $f$ and $g$ could be representing.
Find and interpret the value $f^{-1}(4)$ in terms of these contexts.
