Pearson - College Algebra Enhanced with Graphing Utilities, 5/E - Michael Sullivan, Michael Sullivan & III

In this section:

Description

These authors understand what it takes to be successful in mathematics, the skills that students bring to this course, and the way that technology can be used to enhance learning without sacrificing math skills. As a result, they have created a textbook with an overall learning system involving preparation, practice, and review to help students get the most out of the time they put into studying. In sum, Sullivan and Sullivan's College Algebra: Enhanced with Graphing Utilities gives students a model for success in mathematics.

Features

Below is a list of just some of the key features for this text. For a more complete list, consult the inside front cover of the text.

Prepare for Class

Preparing for This Section Sections begin with a list of key concepts to review, with page number references. This feature highlights previously learned material to be used in this section. Review it, and you'll always be prepared for quizzes and tests.
"Now Work" Problems follow most examples, and direct you to a related exercise. Since we learn best by doing, you'll solidify your understanding of examples if you try a similar problem right away, before you forget what you've learned.
NEW! Showcase Examples provide "how-to" instruction by offering a guided, step-by-step approach to solving a problem. With each step presented on the left and the mathematics displayed on the right, students can immediately see how each of the steps is employed.
NEW! Model It Problems and Examples require you to build a mathematical model from either a verbal description or data. These problems will allow you to describe the problem mathematically and suggest a solution to the problem.

Practice

'Are You Prepared?' Problems Special problems that support the Preparing for This Section feature appear at the start of each exercise set. Work the 'Are You Prepared?' Problems and if you get one wrong, you'll know exactly what you need to review and where to review it.
Concepts and Vocabulary These Fill-in the-Blank and True/False items assess your understanding of key definitions and concepts. These problems help you understand the 'big ideas' before diving into skill building.
Skill Development Correlated to section examples, these problems provide straightforward practice, organized by difficulty. These problems provide you with ample practice to develop your problem-solving skills.
Mixed Practice These problems offer comprehensive assessment of the skills learned in the section by asking questions that relate to more than one concept or objective. These problems may also require you to utilize skills learned in previous sections, helping you to see how concepts are tied together.
Applications and Extensions Math is everywhere, and these problems demonstrate that. You'll learn to approach real problems, and how to break them down into manageable parts. These can be challenging, but are worth the effort.
Discussion and Writing These problems, marked by a special icon and red numbers, support class discussion, verbalization of mathematical ideas, and writing projects.

Review

"You Should be Able To..." Contains a complete list of objectives by section, with corresponding practice exercises. Do the recommended exercises and you'll have mastery over the key material. If you get something wrong, go review the suggested page numbers and try again.
Chapter Test These are about 15-20 problems that can be taken as a Chapter Test. Take the sample practice test and it will get you ready for your instructor's tests. If the student gets a problem wrong, they can watch the Chapter Test Prep Video CD found in the back of the book.

New To This Edition

New Content

• Section R.3, Geometry Essentials, now contains a discussion of congruent and similar triangles.

• Chapter 4 Linear and Quadratic Functions New to this edition, this chapter gives more emphasis to linear and quadratic functions. The discussions allow for a fuller explanation of linear and quadratic functions, their properties, models involving the functions, and building models from verbal descriptions and data. A full section on quadratic inequalities is also provided with both graphical and algebraic analysis of the inequality.

• Examples and exercises that involve a more in-depth analysis of graphing and exponential and logarithmic functions are provided.

Organizational Changes

• Chapter 1 introduces graphing and the graphing calculator along with solving equations in one variable.

• Chapter 2 expands on the discussion of graphs in two variables and introduces lines and circles. Plus, Section 2.4 presents a complete discussion of variation.

• Chapter 4 consolidates the discussion on linear and quadratic functions.

• Chapter 8 discusses systems of equations and inequalities. This chapter includes both linear and nonlinear systems.

New Features

• Showcase Examples are used to present examples in a guided, step-by-step format. Students can immediately see how each of the steps in a problem is employed. The “How To” examples have a two-column format in which the left column describes the step in solving the problem and the right column displays the algebra complete with annotations.

• Model It examples and exercises are clearly marked with an icon. These examples and exercises develop the student’s ability to build models from both verbal descriptions and data. Many of the problems involving data require the students to first determine the appropriate model (linear, quadratic, and so on) then fit it to the data and justify their choice.

• Exercise Sets at the end of each section have been classified according to purpose. Where appropriate, more problems to challenge the better student have been added. In addition, Mixed Practice exercises have been added where appropriate so that students may synthesize skills from a variety of sections.

• Applied Problems have been updated and many new problems involving sourced information as well as data sets have been added to bring relevance and timeliness to these exercises.

Michael Sullivan’s time-tested approach focuses students on the fundamental skills they need for the course: preparing for class, practicing with homework, and reviewing the concepts. The Enhanced with Graphing Utilities Series has evolved to meet today’s course needs by integrating the usage of graphing calculator, active-learning, and technology in new ways to help students be successful in their course, as well as in their future endeavors.

In the Sixth Edition, new worksheets in MyMathLab–developed from the authors’ experience in the classroom–provide mixed review for students who having trouble reconciling various topics, and also give students an opportunity to show their work. The “Are You Prepared?” section openers focus on students mastering the prerequisite material before beginning a new topic, and for the first time, those exercises are assignable in MyMathLab. Concept and Vocabulary exercises are also now assignable in MyMathLab as reading quizzes.
