A Graphical Approach to Algebra and Trigonometry

<p><b> Hornsby/Lial/Rockswold’s Graphical Approach </b>covers functions through a consistent four part analytical process that asks students to 1) Examine the nature of the graph 2) Solve a typical equation analytically and graphically 3) Solve the related inequality analytically and graphically, and finally, 4) Apply analytic and graphical methods to solve an application of that class of function.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><b>KEY TOPICS:</b> Linear Functions, Equations, and Inequalities; Analysis of Graphs of Functions; Polynomial Functions; Rational, Power, and Root Functions; Inverse, Exponential, and Logarithmic Functions; Systems and Matrices; Analytic Geometry and Nonlinear Systems; Trigonometric Functions and Applications; Trigonometric Identities and Equations; Applications of Trigonometry and Vectors; Reference: Basic Algebraic Concepts</p> <p><br></p> <b>MARKET:</b> For all readers interested in algebra.
