Nearly 1,000 of the exercises are new or modified in this edition. Content Updates. In Chapter R, more detail has been added to set-builder notation, illustrations of the rules for exponents have been provided, and many exercises have been updated to better match section examples. Several new and updated applications have been inserted into the Chapter 1exercise sets. New objectives have been added to Section 1.4, outlining the four methods for solving a quadratic equation, along with guidance suggesting when each method may be used efficiently. Chapters 2 and 3 contain numerous new and updated applications and exercises, as well as many updated calculator screenshots that are now provided in color.
In response to reviewer suggestions, the discussion on increasing, decreasing, and constant functions in Section 2.3 has been written to apply to open intervals of the domain. Also, as a response to reviewers, intercepts of graphs are now defined as coordinates rather than a single number. This notation continues throughout the text. In Chapter 4, greater emphasis is given to the concept of exponential and logarithmic functions as inverses, there is a new table providing descriptions of the additional properties of exponents, and additional exercises requiring graphing logarithmic functions with translations have been included. There are also many new and updated real-life applications of exponential and logarithmic functions.
In Chapter 5, special attention has been given to finding partial fraction decompositions in Section 5.4 and to linear programming in Section 5.6. Examples have been rewritten to promote student understanding of these very difficult topics. In Chapter 6, greater emphasis is given to analyzing the specific aspects of conic sections–such as finding the equation of the axis of symmetry of a parabola, finding the coordinates of the foci of ellipses and hyperbolas, and finding the equations of the asymptotes of hyperbolas. Throughout Chapter 7, examples have been carefully updated to ensure that students are able to understand each step of the solutions. Special consideration was given to mathematical induction in Section 7.5 by providing numerous additional side comments for the steps of examples in this difficult section. For visual learners, numbered Figure and Example references within the text are set using the same typeface as the figure and hold print for the example.
This makes it easier for the students to identify and connect them. The authors also have increased use of “drop down” style when appropriate, to distinguish between simplifying expressions and solving equations, and have added many more explanatory side comments. Enhancing the already well-respected exercises, nearly 1,000 are new or modified, and hundreds present updated real-life data. In addition, the MyMathLab course has expanded coverage of all exercise types appearing in the exercise sets, as well as the mid-chapter Quizzes and Summary Exercises. Table of Contents R.
