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


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Your response:
Thought: 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. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

HS
options: Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.

Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.

Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this task is for students to develop their understanding of the
\(|x|\)
notation in familiar contexts. They should build their understanding that
\(|x|\)
represents the distance from zero to
\(x\)
and that
\(|\text-x|\)
and
\(|x|\)
are equal.
Launch
Allow students 10 minutes quiet work time followed by whole-class discussion.

A part of the city of New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level. We can use “-6 feet” to describe its elevation, and “
\(|\text-6|\)
feet” to describe its vertical distance from sea level. In the context of elevation, what would each of the following numbers describe?
25 feet
\(|25|\)
feet
-8 feet
\(|\text-8|\)
feet
The elevation of a city is different from sea level by 10 feet. Name the two elevations that the city could have.
We write “
\(\text-5^\circ \text{C}\)
” to describe a temperature that is 5 degrees Celsius below freezing point and “
\(5^\circ \text{C}\)
” for a temperature that is 5 degrees above freezing. In this context, what do each of the following numbers describe?
\(1^\circ \text{C}\)
\(\text-4^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|12|^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|\text-7|^\circ \text{C}\)
Which temperature is colder:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature is closer to freezing temperature:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature has a smaller absolute value? Explain how you know.

Are you ready for more?
At a certain time, the difference between the temperature in New York City and in Boston was 7 degrees Celsius. The difference between the temperature in Boston and in Chicago was also 7 degrees Celsius. Was the temperature in New York City the same as the temperature in Chicago? Explain your answer.

Activity Synthesis
To summarize students’ work, consider displaying the following diagram and these four expressions. Give students a minute to study the diagram and match each letter on the diagram to an appropriate expression.
-4 feet
\(|{15}|\)
feet
\(|{\text -4}|\)
feet
15 feet

Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Create a display of important terms and vocabulary. Invite students to suggest language or diagrams to include that will support their understanding of: absolute value of a number, elevation, sea level, less than, greater than.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Language; Memory
Representing, Speaking: MLR7 Compare and Connect
. To help students connect the numerical values with the diagram in the activity synthesis, provide students phrases that also connect to the situation (e.g., “4 feet below sea level,” “15 feet from sea level,” “4 feet from sea level,” and “15 feet above sea level”). Emphasize the language needed to say what the numerical values mean and how those values connect to the diagram and the phrases.
