Overview of Introductory Algebra: A Real - World Approach Book

Through down-to-earth explanations, patient skill-building and exceptionally interesting and realistic applications, this worktext will empower students to learn and master mathematics in the real world. Bello has written a textbook with mathanxious students in mind to combat the issue of student motivation, something that instructors face with each class. The addition of Green Math examples and applications expands Bello's reach into current, timely subjects.Key Features:This edition features new Green Math Examples and Green Math Applications, which provide students with the ability to apply mathematics to topics present in all aspects of their lives. The result is a reinvented learning experience rich in information, visually engaging and easily accessible to both instructors and students. End-of-section exercise sets to include exercises keyed to objectives and to examples, applied exercises and "skill checkers" to confirm or reinforce skills needed for the next section.Table of Contents:Real Numbers and their PropertiesIntroduction to Algebra The Real Numbers Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers Multiplying and Dividing Real Numbers Order of Operations Properties of the Real Numbers Simplifying ExpressionsEquations, Problem Solving and InequalitiesThe Additions and Subtraction Properties of Equality The Multiplication and Division Properties of Equality Linear Equations Problem Solving: Integer, General and Geometry Problems Problem Solving: Motion, Mixture and Investment Problems Formulas and Geometry Applications Properties of InequalitiesGraphs of Linear Equations, Inequalities and ApplicationsLine Graphs, Bar Graphs and Applications Graphing Linear Equations in Two Variables Graphing Lines Using Intercepts: Horizontal and Vertical Lines The Slope of a Line: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Graphing Lines Using Points and Slope Applications of Equations of Lines Graphing Inequalities in Two VariablesExponents and PolynomialsThe Product, Quotient and Power Rules for Exponents Integer Exponents Application of Exponents: Scientific Notation Polynomials: An Introduction Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials Multiplication of Polynomials Special Products of Polynomials Division of Polynomials Special Products of Polynomials Division of PolynomialsFactoringCommon Factors and Grouping Factoring x2 + bx + c Factoring ax2 + bx + c, a 1 Factoring Squares of Binomials A General Factoring Strategy Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring Applications of QuadraticsRational ExpressionsBuilding and Reducing Rational Expressions Multiplication and Division of Rational Expressions Addition and Subtraction of Rational Expressions Complex Fractions Solving Equations Containing Rational Expressions Ration, Proportion and Applications Direct and Inverse Variation: ApplicationsSolving Systems of Linear Equations and InequalitiesSolving Systems of Equations by Graphing Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution Solving Systems of Equations by elimination Coin, General, motion and Investment Problems Systems of Linear InequalitiesRoots and RadicalsFinding Roots Multiplication and Division of Radicals Addition and Subtraction of Radicals Simplifying Radicals Applications: Solving Radical EquationsQuadratic EquationsSolving Quadratic Equations by the Square Root Property Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Solving Quadratic Equations by the Quadratic Formula Graphing Quadratic Equations The Pythagorean Theorem and Other Applications Functions
