Description The authors help students "see the math" through their focus on functions; visual emphasis; side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions; real-data applications; and examples and exercises.
By remaining focused on today's students and their needs, the authors lead students to mathematical understanding and, ultimately, success in class. Chapter Openers Each chapter opens with an application relevant to the content of the chapter. Summary and Review This end-of-chapter feature contains a list of important properties and formulas covered in the chapter followed by an extensive set of review exercises. New to This Edition. An overview of the changes made in Fourth Edition follows.
The material on increasing, decreasing, and piecewise functions, along with the material on the algebra of functions, composition of functions, and symmetry and transformations that was in Chapter 1 in Third Edition has been moved to a separate chapter Chapter 2 in Fourth Edition.
The algebra of functions and composition of functions are now presented in two sections rather than one. The material on linear equations, functions, and inequalities has been moved from Chapter 2 in Third Edition to Chapter 1 in Fourth Edition where functions are introduced.
The chapter on polynomial and rational functions has been shortened by moving the section on variation to Chapter 2 in the new edition. The presentation of equations and inequalities with absolute value that was in different sections in Third Edition is now combined into a single section of Fourth Edition.
The section that reviews equation solving in Chapter R, the review chapter, has been moved before the sections on rational expressions, radical notation, and rational exponents. About the Author s. Previous editions. Sign In We're sorry! Username Password Forgot your username or password?

Throughout the writing process, an energetic search for real-data applications was conducted, and the result is a wide variety of examples and exercises that connect the mathematical content with the real world. Chapter Pretests allow students to test themselves before beginning each chapter, helping them to identify material that may be familiar as well as targeting material that may be new or especially challenging.
Objective Boxes At the beginning of each section, a boxed list of objectives is keyed by letter not only to section subheadings, but also to the exercises in the Pretest, section-level exercise sets, and Summary and Review, and the answers to the Chapter Test and Cumulative Review questions. This correlation enables students to easily find appropriate review material if they need help with a particular exercise or skill. Calculator Corners Where appropriate throughout the text, students see optional Calculator Corners.
This feature is designed specifically with prealgebra students in mind, giving them keystrokes as appropriate, and is accompanied by exercises for students to try on their own.
Discussion and Writing Exercises Designed to help students develop deeper comprehension of critical concepts, at least four Discussion and Writing exercises indicated by a DW symbol are found in each exercise set and Summary and Review to encourage students to think about, write, and verbalize key mathematical ideas in the chapter.
Discussion and Writing exercises are suitable for either individual or group work. Skill Maintenance Exercises Found in each exercise set, these exercises review concepts from other sections in the text to prepare students for their final examination.
Section and objective codes appear next to each Skill Maintenance exercise for easy reference, and in response to user feedback, the overall number of Skill Maintenance exercises has been increased. Synthesis Exercises Appearing in most exercise sets, Synthesis Exercises help build critical-thinking skills by requiring students to synthesize or combine learning objectives from the current section as well as from preceding text sections.
New to This Edition. The presence of real data has been expanded and is frequently featured in a table format, similar to the way students will encounter it in newspapers and magazines. Reorganized Section 4. This section incorporates the skills being taught in the classroom into real life applications. Vertical angles are now covered in Chapter 9 Geometry and Measures. This section is designed with nursing students as well as students studying other related health fields in mind.
In response to reviewer feedback, Chapter 10 Polynomials ends with an introduction to scientific notation. Chapter Openers are now on a two-page spread with exceptional artwork that is tied to a motivating real-world application to engage students and prepare them for the upcoming chapter material. The pacing of this feature helps students increase their comprehension and maximize their retention of key concepts. At times short snippets and at other times more lengthy discussions, these Study Tips encourage students to input information and get involved in the learning process.
Updated Applications A large number of the applications are new to this edition, and many are drawn from the fields of business and economics, life and physical sciences, social sciences, and areas of general interest such as sports and daily life. Art Program Today's students are often visually oriented and their approach to a printed page is no exception.
