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:
B

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

options: Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ³ 1.

Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.
problem_activity: Activity
In this warm-up, students make sense of a linear function with a negative rate of change, set in a familiar context. Students have seen similar relationships between the amount of water in a tank and time in an earlier unit (on solving and graphing equations). Here, they think about the quantities in terms of input and output, interpret statements in function notation, and sketch a graph of the function.
The work here prepares students to find and interpret the inverse of functions written in function notation, and to use inverse functions to solve problems.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Provide access to scientific or four-function calculators, if requested.
Student Facing
A tank contained some water. The function
\(w\)
represents the relationship between
\(t\)
, time in minutes, and the amount of water in the tank in liters. The equation
\(w(t) = 80 - 2.5t\)
defines this function.
Discuss with a partner:
How is the water in the tank changing? Be as specific as possible.
What does
\(w(t)\)
represent? Is
\(w(t)\)
the input or the output of this function?
Sketch a graph of the function. Be sure to label the axes.

Activity Synthesis
Select students to share their responses, including their graph.
Make sure students recall that in an equation such as
\(w(t)=80-2.5t\)
,
\(w(t)\)
is the output when the input is
\(t\)
, that they can interpret the equation in terms of the situation, and see why the graph is a downward-slanting line.
