Chapter openers provide a Chapter Outline and a motivating application topic that is tied to the chapter content. Enhanced examples have replaced many examples in this edition. All solutions have been carefully polished to incorporate more side comments. Dual-Solution Format displays selected examples with side-by-side analytic and graphing calculator solutions, to connect traditional analytic methods for solving problems with graphical methods of solution or support. Some of these examples are marked with the graphing calculator icon to indicate that additional information on the graphing calculator solution is included in the Graphing Calculator Manual that accompanies the text. Pointers direct students to comments that include on-the-spot reminders and warnings about common pitfalls. Highlighted section and figure references within the text are shown using boldface type when referring to numbered sections (e.g., Section 2.1) and the corresponding font when referring to numbered figures (e.g., Figure 1). Figures and photos appeal to today’s students who are more visually oriented than ever. As a result, more figures, diagrams, tables, and graphs, including the “hand-drawn” style of graphs are provided whenever possible. Photos accompany applications in examples and exercises. Function Capsule boxes offer a comprehensive, visual introduction to each class of function and serve as an excellent resource for reference and review. Each capsule includes traditional and calculator graphs and a calculator table of values, as well as the domain, range, and other specific information about the function. Abbreviated versions of function capsules are provided on the inside back cover of the text. What Went Wrong? features anticipate typical errors that students make when using graphing technology and provides an avenue for instructors to highlight and discuss such errors. Answers are included on the same page as the “What Went Wrong?” boxes. Cautions andNotes warn students of common errors and emphasize important ideas throughout the exposition. Looking Ahead to Calculus are margin notes that provide glimpses of how the algebraic topics currently being studied are used in calculus. Technology Notes appear in the margin and provide tips to students on how to use graphing calculators more effectively. Some notes are marked with a graphing calculator icon to indicate that additional related information on graphing technology is included in the Graphing Calculator Manual that accompanies the text. For Discussion activities appear within the exposition or in the margins and offer material on important concepts for instructors and students to investigate or discuss in class. Exercise sets include hundreds of new and revised exercises that provide students with ample opportunities to practice, apply, connect, and extend concepts and skills. Exercises include writing exercises as well as multiple-choice, matching, true/ false, and completion problems. Exercises marked Concept Checkfocus on mathematical thinking and conceptual understanding, while those marked Checking Analytic Skills are intended for students to solve without the use of a calculator. Real data has been updated throughout. Relating Concepts groups of exercises appear in selected exercise sets. They tie together topics and highlight relationships among various concepts and skills. All answers to these problems appear in the answer section at the back of the student book. Reviewing Basic Concepts sets of exercises appear every two or three sections and allow students to review and check their understanding of the material in preceding sections. All answers to these problems

Hundreds of exercises are new or revised, many of which are devoted to skill development. ·  Examples and exercises throughout include new and updated applications that use current, real-world data. ·  Enhanced Examples have replaced many examples in this edition. All solutions have been carefully polished to incorporate more side comments. ·  Expanded coverage of graphing by hand appears throughout the text. Many additional graphs have been incorporated featuring a “hand-drawn” style that simulates what a student might actually sketch on graph paper into discussions and examples. ·  A subsection on division of any two polynomials has been added (Section 3.6). ·  More discussion and exercises involving factoring polynomials of higher degree are now included (Section 3.7). ·  A subsection on graphing rational functions that have no vertical asymptotes has been added (Section 4.2). ·  Rate-of-work problems as illustrations of applications of rational equations have been added (Section 4.3). ·  Inverse functions section now includes discussion of inverses of rational functions (Section 5.1). ·  Material on solving logarithmic inequalities and equations quadratic in form, where u = ex is now included (Section 5.5). ·  Chapter 5 now concludes with a set of summary exercises, covering the first five chapters and focusing on domains, defining equations, and composition of the various classes of functions discussed up to that point. ·  Increased opportunity for solving linear systems graphically without the use of a calculator (Section 7.1). ·  Expanded the discussion of matrix inverses (Section 7.6). ·  Reordered the section on Counting Theory to precede coverage of the binomial theorem and mathematical induction in Chapter 8.
