Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.193 Make Sense of Problems and Persevere in Solving Them skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A problem asks for the maximum value of 2sin(x) + 2cos(x). Which strategy should be chosen before using technology?
ASet sin(x) and cos(x) both equal to 1
BDifferentiate even though the course has not introduced derivatives
CTest only x = 0 and x = pi
DRewrite the expression as Rsin(x + phi) or use amplitude sqrt(22 + 22)
Solution & Explanation:A linear combination of sine and cosine has maximum amplitude sqrt(a2 + b2), which avoids the impossible assumption that both sine and cosine equal 1 at once.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student has tried expanding a complicated expression and the work is becoming longer without progress. What is the most mathematically productive next step?
AContinue expanding every term no matter how complex
BErase the problem and choose a random answer
CPause to look for structure such as factoring, substitution, symmetry, or an equivalent representation
DSwitch variables without a reason
Solution & Explanation:Perseverance includes changing strategy when a method is unproductive; looking for structure can reveal a more efficient path.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A technology solution for 2x = x3 gives a decimal answer. Which follow-up best demonstrates perseverance and accuracy?
AReport the first decimal seen on the screen only
BCheck the solution by substituting it into both sides and consider whether additional intersections exist
CAssume there is exactly one answer because the calculator displayed one
DRound the input to the nearest whole number before checking
Solution & Explanation:Technology can miss or approximate solutions, so checking the equation and the number of intersections supports accuracy.
