Description

This all new edition of Trigonometry, derived from the author’s popular Algebra & Trigonometry, Third Edition, helps students visualize mathematics for better comprehension. By creating algebraic visual side-by-sides to solve various problems in the examples, the authors show students the relationship of the algebraic solution with the visual, often graphical, solution. In addition, a variety of new tools help students better use the book for maximum effectiveness to not only pass the course, but truly understand the material.

Trigonometry, Second Edition can be used for a brief Trigonometry course, or can be bundled with any Pearson Mathematics title.

Features

Algebraic Visual Side-by-Sides help students make the connection between algebraic manipulation and the graphical interpretation.
Visualizing the Graph features asks students to match an equation with its graph. This focus on visualization and conceptual understanding appears in every chapter to help students see the “big picture.”
Technology Connections guide students in the use of the graphing calculator as another way to check problems. This feature is optional and may be skipped without loss of comprehension.
Connecting the Concepts help students check their understanding of how concepts within a section, or several sections, work together. By presenting the information in a visually appealing way, comprehension is streamlined and retention is maximized.
NEW! Full-color design carries a consistent meaning that enhances students’ ability to read and comprehend the exposition.
Vocabulary Review feature checks and reviews students' understanding of the language of mathematics. This appears once per chapter in the Skill Maintenance portion of an exercise set.
Classify the Function exercises focus on conceptual understanding. Students are asked to identify a number of functions by their type (i. e., linear, quadratic, rational, and so forth). As they progress through the text, the variety of functions they know increases and these exercises become more challenging. These exercises appear with the review exercises in the Skill Maintenance portion of an exercise set.

New To This Edition

Visualizing the Graph asks students to match an equation with its graph. This focus on visualization and conceptual understanding appears in every chapter to help students see “the big picture”, and is extended to selected exercises sets.
Select key concepts are introduced using 'plain English' before precise mathematical definitions are given.
The chapter openers, and many applications throughout the book, have been updated and improved for increased relevance to students.
Every example now ends with a suggestion to Now Try a related exercise, giving students the opportunity to immediately test their comprehension of the material they have just learned.
Full-color design carries a consistent meaning that enhances students’ ability to read and comprehend the exposition.
