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:
{
  "explanation": "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: Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.  For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.

For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
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.
