This edition provides numerous strategies for success for both students and instructors. Instructors will find the book easier to use with such additions as an Annotated Instructor's Edition, instructor notes within the exercise sets, and an Insider's Guide. Students will find success through features including highlights, exercise hints, art annotations, critical thinking exercises, and pop quizzes, as well as procedures, strategies, and summaries.
*See the New to This Edition segment for information on new or enhanced features, in addition to those listed above.
Content Changes for the Fourth Edition
For this fourth edition of Precalculus, there are extensively updated explanations, examples, exercises, and art in response to comments from the users of the third edition. Over 1000 additional exercises have been added to this edition, and many of the existing exercises have been improved, updated, and reorganized, providing students with a smoother path to success. Using a pedagogical approach to color, more color has been added to key examples to emphasize certain computations. The art package has been revamped with new photographs and situational art that compliments the fresh new design and will help students better visualize the mathematics being discussed. The section on complex numbers has been moved to Chapter P (Prerequisites) so that Chapter 3 (Polynomial and Rational Functions) would contain fewer sections and be easier to teach. Section 3.1 now has more review of polynomial functions and quadratic functions before diving into the examples. Section 8.1 includes more on larger systems of linear equations and there are now ‘just-in-time’ reviews on inverse functions in Section 8.2.
New and Enhanced Features
We have included several new features and revised some existing features. These improvements are designed to make the book easier to use and to support student and instructor success. Students and instructors will welcome the following new and enhanced features:
