![]() ![]() Section 1.1 (Functions and Models) now contains an expanded discussion of mathematical models.The discussion of one-to-one functions has been moved to section 4.3 (Inverse Functions).Chapter 4 Toolbox has been revised to contain a library of functions.Content updates are focused on improving the exposition and organization of the book.Whenever a new technology procedure is introduced in the text, references point students to Appendices A and B for calculator and Excel instructions. Appendix B has been expanded to include instructions for both Excel® 2003 and Excel® 2010.Additional modeling questions throughout the text have students do more decision making and critical thinking.Additional Skills Check problems ensure that students have sufficient practice with every type of skill.Updated Section Previews prepare students for the section ahead, with examples listed in the same order in which they will appear in the section.Real-data applications, examples, and exercises have been updated, keeping this text’s content up-to-date with economic and financial changes in recent years.These videos give context to the Narrated Example videos. NEW! Introductory Videos contain a brief overview of the topics covered in each section and highlight objectives and key concepts. ![]() Narrated Example Videos have been updated to reflect new content and current real data.NEW! Author-designated sample homework problems are available in MyMathLab to make your start-up time efficient.NEW! Ready-to-Go MyMathLab courses are pre-built MyMathLab courses that make the start-up time for building your course quick and easy.Skills Check problems and the exercise sets test students’ comprehension of the material in the chapter.A chapter summary and grid outline Key Concepts and Formulas, which are organized by section and point back to the Key Concepts list at the beginning of each section.Chapter review material includes a wealth of material to help students study efficiently.Exercise sets are designed to test student comprehension by incorporating the algebraic skills covered in the Skills Check with the application problems they will encounter in the real world.Skills Check problems precede the exercise sets, allowing students to quickly check if they have read and understood all the concepts needed to complete their homework.These lists are consistent with the order and organization of the material in the chapter reviews, providing a helpful cross-reference for exam preparation. Key Concepts are outlined at the beginning of every section.Each Algebra Toolbox begins with a list of Key Concepts, just like the sections in the book, to make this tool even more useful for students. The Algebra Toolbox at the beginning of every chapter provides a “just in time” review of the algebra needed to learn upcoming material.A small grid lists a few of the applications that students will see in each section, to motivate them to read the text. Chapter openers begin with a brief application that shows how the upcoming material relates to the real world. ![]()
