Robert F. Blitzer, Miami Dade College. If You're an Educator Download instructor resources Additional order info. Outstanding applications put learning into context for students. Blitzer creates intriguing applications that show students the relevance of math.

Clear and accessible presentation ensures that students can follow the book when they get home from class. These specific annotations clarify procedures and concepts, mimicking what an instructor would say in class when translating the math into plain English. See it, Hear it, Try it is the consistent format of every textbook example. No steps are omitted and each step is clearly explained. Each example concludes with problems for students to try, ensuring that they understand the concept before continuing.

Mid-Chapter Checkpoints contain a set of review exercises that allow students to review skills and concepts from several sections before the end-of-chapter exercises. Practice Plus Problems are more challenging problems that test conceptual understanding by requiring students to combine skills and to revisit key concepts in order to solve. Cumulative Review Exercises at the end of each chapter ensure that students remember previously learned material, keeping the fundamental skills and concepts fresh in their minds as they move on to the next chapter.

End-of-chapter tests cover all of the important topics in the chapter, helping students study for the real thing. Integrated study aids help students make the most of their time outside of the classroom.

Chapter Test Prep Videos contain worked-out solutions to every exercise in every chapter test. An instructor walks students through each exercise step-by-step, allowing students to pause and watch again as needed. This valuable study tool comes with every new copy of the textbook.

Study Tip boxes appear throughout the book. These offer suggestions for problem solving, point out common student errors, and provide informal tips and suggestions. Technology boxes illustrate the many capabilities of graphing utilities that go beyond just graphing. Chapter Reviews organize chapter material into easy-to-use two-column review charts. These summarize the definitions and concepts for every section of the chapter and refer students to illustrative examples.

Content Features Complex numbers and graphs and graphing utilities appear in Chapter 1. This early introduction allows students to apply their understanding of complex numbers to their work in solving quadratic equations, and sets the stage for using graphing to support the algebraic work in solving equations and inequalities.

A general discussion on cost and average cost functions appears in section 3. New to This Edition. Updated data comes from a variety of books, magazines, newspapers, almanacs, and websites. Preview Exercises at the end of each exercise set prepare students for material in the section ahead. Some problems review important material from the past and others are designed to get students thinking about concepts that they will soon encounter.

Mathematical models coverage now includes more detailed directions. For example, students are asked if values obtained from models overestimate or underestimate the data in graphs. More Study Tip boxes appear throughout the new edition. These boxes offer suggestions for problem solving, point out common errors to avoid, and provide informal hints and suggestions.

Updated design includes engaging new chapter openers in a magazine-style format. The visually appealing pages encourage students to read the book and become excited to learn. MyMathLab for Blitzer courses now have full coverage of odd-numbered exercises.

Content and Organizational Changes: Section P. Section 1. With the revised order of objectives, the section closes with a discussion of the difference quotient. There is also a more detailed presentation on piecewise functions, including an example on graphing such a function.
