About this title

Synopsis

This text sets a new standard for college algebra textbooks. Modeling, functions, data analysis, and regression, along with fully integrated graphing technology, are presented side-by-side with algebraic and numeric techniques. Graphing calculator technology is used at each point in the text where concepts are enhanced by technology. Students benefit from seeing the material presented in a variety of ways and learn by investigating and discovering mathematics concepts with their colleagues. The unique situational art, color-coded graphs, graphing calculator screen shots and instruction, and numerous timely, real-data citations in the examples and exercises combine to help students fully understand this subject. Problem sets emphasize critical thinking and written communication skills while incorporating real data in the exercises.

From the Back Cover

The approach of this text is more interactive than most precalculus texts and the goal of the author team is to enhance the learning process through the use of technology and to provide as much support and help for students as possible. In Connecting the Concepts, comprehension is streamlined and retention is maximized when the student views a concept in visual, rather than paragraph, form. Zeros, Solutions, and X-Intercepts Theme Carried Throughout helps students visualize and connect the following three concepts when they are solving problems: the real zeros of the function, the solutions of the associated equation, and the x-coordinates of the x-intercept of the graph of the function. Each chapter begins with a relevant application highlighting how concepts presented in the chapter can be put to use in the real world. These applications are accompanied by numerical tables, equations, and grapher windows to show students the many different ways in which problems can be examined. End-of-Chapter material includes a summary and review of properties and formulas along with a complete set of review exercises. Review exercises also include synthesis, critical thinking, and writing exercises. The answers to all of the review exercises appear in the back of the text and have text section references to further aid students. For anyone interested in learning algebra.
