• Every section begins with a list of objectives that highlights the learning outcomes of that section and provides instructors with a tool for lesson planning.

• A wide variety of relevant examples--each of which is titled for easy reference--includes solutions presented graphically, analytically, and/or numerically to provide further insight into mathematical concepts. Examples that illustrate real-life situations are identified with an icon.

• For instructors who wish to incorporate technology, optional Tech Tutor boxes provide guidance on using technology to ease lengthy calculations, present a graphical solution, or discuss where using technology can lead to misleading or wrong solutions. In addition, exercises requiring technology are identified with a graphing calculator icon.

• A Summarize feature guides students in creating section-level concept summaries-- helping them process and organize key concepts while providing a valuable study tool.

• How Do You See It? exercises ask students to draw conclusions about information presented visually. Requiring little or no calculation, these exercises check students’ conceptual understanding of key concepts.

• The CalcChat.com website provides tutorial help and worked-out solutions to the odd-numbered exercises in the text.

• Every section begins with a list of objectives that highlights the skills and concepts you should learn in the section.

• Algebra Tutors appear throughout each chapter and offer algebra support exactly when you need it. A two-page expanded Algebra Tutor appears at the end of every chapter, and includes additional detailed examples with solutions and explanations.

• Tech Tutor boxes provide guidance on using technology--graphing calculators, computer graphing programs, and spreadsheet software such as Excel--to ease lengthy calculations, present a graphical solution, or discuss where using technology can lead to misleading or wrong solutions. Exercises requiring technology are identified with a graphing calculator icon.

• At the beginning of each exercise set, Skills Warm Up exercises provide practice of skills covered in previous sections that are used in the exercise set. Answers are provided at the back of the text to reinforce understanding.
