Description:

The Third Edition of the BittingerGraphs and Modelsseries helps readers succeed in algebra by emphasizing a visual understanding of concepts. This latest edition incorporates a new Visualizing for Success feature that helps readers make intuitive connections between graphs and functions without the aid of a graphing calculator. In addition, readers learn problem-solving skills from theBittinger hallmark five-step problem-solving processcoupled with Connecting the Concepts and Aha! Exercises. As you have come to expect with any Bittinger text, we bring you a complete supplements package including MyMathLabtrade; and the New Instructor and Adjunct Support Manual.KEY TOPICS: Basics of Algebra…
