ARGUMENT In 2010 the National Governors' Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers presented national standards for math and Englishlanguage arts for students in kindergarten through high school. The federal government hopes states will use these standards instead of the varied state guidelines. But education is usually left to the states. Do you think a national approach is good or bad? Write a letter to your representative in Congress giving your view.

The deltoid muscle inserts on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus and abducts the arm. Imagine a person holding a weight in the hand and abducting the arm. On a laboratory skeleton, identify the fulcrum; measure the effort arm and resistance arm; determine the mechanical advantage of this movement; and determine which of the three lever types the upper limb acts as when performing this movement.

Solve each system using a graphing calculator capable of performing row operations. Give solutions with values correct to the nearest thousandth.

$$\begin{array}{c} 0.3 x+2.7 y-\sqrt{2} z=3 \\ \sqrt{7} x-20 y+12 z=-2 \\ 4 x+\sqrt{3} y-1.2 z=\frac{3}{4} \end{array}$$

$$A=\left[\begin{array}{rr|r} -1 & 2 & -3 \\ 6 & -3 & 12 \end{array}\right]$$

The above matrix is the result of performing a single row operation on matrix A shown below. Identify the row operation.

$$\left[\begin{array}{rr|r}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 6 & -3 & 12\end{array}\right]$$

Determine which value best approximates the surface area of $z=f(x, y)$ over the region $R$. (Make your selection on the basis of a sketch of the surface and not by performing any calculations.) \

You are performing an experiment to determine how well plants grow under different light sources. Of the 30 plants in the experiment, 12 receive visible light, 15 receive ultraviolet light, and 6 receive both visible and ultraviolet light. What is the probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light?

A student has a tennis ball can with a flat top and bottom containing three tightly fitting tennis balls. To the student’s surprise, the circumference of the top of the can is longer than the height of the can. The student wants to know if this fact can be explained without performing any measurements. How do you respond?

In this exercise, determine which value best approximates the length of the arc represented by the integral. (Make your selection on the basis of a sketch of the arc and not by performing any calculations.)
