Description

• New conceptual and application-oriented topics provide real world context, motivating students to learn and master the material. These application topics include Multiplying and Dividing Fractions, Adding and Subtracting Fractions, Operations with Mixed Numbers, Geometric Figures, Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers, Multiplying and Dividing Real Numbers, Linear Equations and Inequalities, Graphing Linear Equations, Linear Equations and Slope, Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, Rational Equations, Variation, Quadratic Equations, Quadratic Functions, Logarithmic Equations, Balancing a Checkbook, and Determining the Best Deal when Purchasing a Vehicle.
• Additional topics have also been added to the intermediate algebra portion of the course: Solving a System in Three Variables by the Elimination Method, Factoring Trinomials by Grouping Numbers (the AC-Method,) Factoring Polynomials, Factoring the Sum and Difference of Cubes, Direct Variation, Inverse Variation, Joint and Combined Variation, Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions, Multiplying Radical Expressions, Dividing Radical Expressions, Rationalizing the Denominator, Complex Numbers, The Discriminant in the Quadratic Formula, Solving Quadratic Equations with Real or Complex Number Solutions, Solving Equations Quadratic in Form, Solving Rational Inequalities, Introduction to Conic Sections, Composite Functions, Inverse Functions, Using a Graphing Calculator, Algebra of Functions, Transformations of Functions, Piecewise Functions, Graphing Piecewise Functions, and Systems of Non-Linear Equations.
• The following topics have been added to the basic math portion of the course: Congruent Triangles and Introduction to Probability,
• Interactive Example animations have been added to select tutorials to provide additional student support on difficult topics.
• Cumulative review tests have been added so students can review several modules worth of material.
• The MyMathLab Notebook has been revised to provide “additional problems” with Guided Solutions.

The MyMathLab Notebook can be packaged with the Squires and Wyrick MyMathLab access kit or downloaded from the MyMathLab eCourse. This notebook shows key examples from the step-by-step videos and provides extra space for students to take notes. It also offers additional helpful hints and practice exercises for every topic in the eCourse. The notebook is three-hole punched and unbound so that students can insert it into their course binder and add additional notes, solutions for their homework exercises, and additional practice work as needed. A bound version is also available for instructors to provide an additional teaching resource for the classroom.

This ISBN is for the loose-leaf version of the MyMathLab Notebook.
