PEARSON EDUCATION A Graphical Approach to College Algebra plus MyMathLab/MyStatLab Student Access Code Card

This package consists of the textbook plus an access kit for MyMathLab/MyStatLab. A Graphical Approach to College Algebra illustrates how the graph of a function can be used to support the solutions of equations and inequalities involving the function. Beginning with linear functions in Chapter 1, the text uses a four-part process to analyze each type of function, starting first with the graph of the function, then the equation, the associated inequality of that equation, and ending with applications. The text covers all of the topics typically caught in a college algebra course, but with an organization that fosters students’ understanding of the interrelationships among graphs, equations, and inequalities. With the Fifth Edition, the text continues to evolve as it addresses the changing needs of today’s students. Included are additional components to build skills, address critical thinking, solve applications, and apply technology to support traditional algebraic solutions, while maintaining its unique table of contents and functions-based approach. A Graphical Approach to College Algebra continues to incorporate an open design, with helpful features and careful explanations of topics. MyMathLab provides a wide range of homework, tutorial, and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course online.
