Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Description: 
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.


Description: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

Answer: 
Yes. This task shows one quadratic equation with 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 $P$.


Description: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio.
problem_activity: Task
Pablo is practicing bank shots on a standard 4 ft.-by-8 ft. pool table that has a wall on each side, a pocket in each corner, and a pocket at the midpoint of each eight-foot side.
Pablo places the cue ball one foot away from the south wall of the table and one foot away from the west wall, as shown in the diagram below.  He wants to bank the cue ball off of the east wall and into the pocket at the midpoint of the north wall.
[IMG]
At what point should the cue ball hit the east wall?
After Pablo practices banking the cue ball off of the east wall, he tries placing the eight-ball two feet from the east wall, as shown in the diagram below, so that if he shoots the cue ball exactly as he did before, the cue ball will strike the eight-ball directly and sink the eight-ball into the north pocket.  How far from the north wall should Pablo place the eight-ball?
