Preface
Overview
CHAPTER 1 This chapter contains a summary of some basic algebra topics. Students
should be familiar with much of this material, but also challenged by some of
the exercises that prepare them for calculus. Graphing calculator operations
are introduced and used to verify algebraic operations. Equations and inequal-
ities are solved algebraically and numerically in this chapter with technology
support; they will be solved graphically in subsequent chapters. Students will
extend their knowledge of these topics; for example, they have worked with
the quadratic formula, but will be asked to relate it to factoring and work with
coefficients that are not real numbers (see Examples 6 and 7 in Section 1.4).
CHAPTER 2 Two-dimensional graphs and functions are introduced in this chapter. Specific
graphing calculator directions are given for most of the basic graphing fea-
tures, such as finding zeros and points of intersection, as well as some of
the more difficult topics, such as finding a regression model and graphing
a piecewise-defined function. A favorite example of mine, Example 10 in
Section 2.5, is a topical application (taxes) that relates tables, formulas, and
graphs. Arrow notation, previously introduced in Section 3.5, has been moved
to Section 2.2 and is referred to more often.
CHAPTER 3 This chapter begins with a discussion of polynomial functions and some
polynomial theory. A thorough treatment of rational functions is given in
Section 3.5. This is followed by a section on variation, which includes graphs
of simple polynomial and rational functions.

CHAPTER 4 Inverse functions is the first topic of discussion, followed by several sections
that deal with exponential and logarithmic functions. There is a new example
on finding the inverse of a rational function (see Example 4 in Section 4.1).
CHAPTER 5 Angles is the first topic in this chapter. Next, the trigonometric functions are
introduced using a right triangle approach and then defined in terms of a unit
circle. Basic trigonometric identities appear throughout the chapter. The chap-
ter concludes with sections on trigonometric graphs and applied problems.
CHAPTER 6 This chapter consists mostly of trigonometric identities, formulas, and equa-
tions. The last section contains definitions, properties, and applications of the
inverse trigonometric functions.
CHAPTER 7 The law of sines and the law of cosines are used to solve oblique triangles.
Vectors are then introduced and used in applications. The last two sections
relate the trigonometric functions and complex numbers.
CHAPTER 9 This chapter begins with a discussion of sequences, and substantial technology
support has been included. The formulas for the nth term of arithmetic and
geometric sequences have been generalized to find the nth term using any
term, not just the first. Mathematical induction and the binomial theorem are
next, followed by counting topics. The last section is about probability and
includes topics such as odds and expected value. My favorite new example
introduces a new type of probability problem, and the solution can be applied
to many similar problems (see Example 9 in Section 9.8).
CHAPTER 10 Sections on the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola begin this chapter. Two dif-
ferent ways of representing functions are given in the next sections on para-
metric equations and polar coordinates. Nearly 100 new exercises have been
added.
My Course
At Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, College
Algebra I is a one-semester 3-credit course. For students intending to take
Calculus, this course is followed by a one-semester 4-credit course, College
Algebra II and Trigonometry. This course also serves as a terminal math
course for many students.
The sections covered in College Algebra I are
2.1–2.7, 3.1, 3.5 (part), 3.6, 4.1–4.6, 8.1–8.4, 9.1–9.3, and 9.5–9.8.
Chapter 1 is used as review material in some classes, and the remaining
sections are taught in the following course. A graphing calculator is required
in some sections and optional in others.

Features
A Separate List of Graphing Calculator Topics On pages xi and xii, there is a
list of graphing calculator topics for quick reference.
Examples Titled for easy reference, all examples provide detailed solutions
of problems similar to those that appear in exercise sets. Many examples
include graphs, charts, or tables to help the student understand procedures
and solutions.
Discussion Exercises Each chapter ends with several exercises that are suitable
for small-group discussions. These exercises range from easy to difficult and
from theoretical to application-oriented.
Checks The solutions to some examples are explicitly checked, to remind stu-
dents to verify that their solutions satisfy the conditions of the problems.
Applications To arouse student interest and to help students relate the exer-
cises to current real-life situations, applied exercises have been titled. Many
professors have indicated that the applications constitute one of the strongest
features of the text.
Exercises Exercise sets begin with routine drill problems and gradually
progress to more difficult problems. An ample number of exercises contain
graphs and tabular data; others require the student to find a mathematical
model for the given data. Many of the new exercises require the student to
understand the conceptual relationship of an equation and its graph.
