Dugopolski’s Precalculus: Functions and Graphs, Fourth Edition, gives you the essential strategies you need to make the transition to calculus. Throughout this book, you will find carefully placed learning aids and review tools to help them learn the math without getting distracted. The new edition includes over 900 additional exercises that are specifically designed to increase student understanding and retention of the concepts. Along the way, you’ll see how the algebra connects to your future calculus course, with tools like Foreshadowing Calculus and Concepts of Calculus. Dugopolski’s emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking helps you be successful in this course, as well as in future calculus courses.

Features + Benefits
Strategies for Success: Learning aids are strategically placed to give students guidance when they need it.

Function Galleries are designed to help the students link the visual aspects of various families of functions to the properties of the functions. These occur throughout the text and are also gathered together at the beginning of the text.

Art Annotationsmake the mathematical art a better learning tool and easier to use.

Summaries of important concepts are included to help students clarify ideas that have multiple parts.

Strategies show general guidelines for accomplishing tasks. Students can use them to sharpen problem-solving skills.

Procedures are similar to Strategies, but are more specific and more algorithmic. They have also been highlighted in this edition and are designed to give students a step-by-step approach.

Foreshadowing Calculus gives a brief indication of the connection between certain algebraic topics and calculus, and identifies topics that will be continued in calculus.

Concepts of Calculus discussions conclude most chapters, and provide exercises designed to illustrate a specific concept. This full page feature gives students a preview of important topics of calculus, and may be used as a writing or collaborative learning assignment.

Chapter Openers begin with discussion of a real-world situation that uses mathematics from the chapter. Examples and exercises that relate back to the opener are included in the chapter.

Optional Graphing Calculator Discussions appear throughout the text. These are marked by graphing calculator icons so that they can be easily skipped if desired. Students who do not use a graphing calculator can still benefit from the technology discussions, as well as from the calculator-generated graphs that occur in the text. The author treats the graphing calculator as a tool to support and enhance algebraic conclusions, not to make conclusions.

Historical Notes: located in the margins throughout the text, these brief essays are designed to connect the topics of precalculus to the mathematicians who first studied them and to give precalculus a human face.

Milestones along the way: Section exercise sets are rich and varied, giving students many opportunities to practice the skills they will need to succeed in this course and in their future calculus course.

For Thought: each exercise set is preceded by a set of ten true/false questions that review the basic concepts in the section, help check student understanding before beginning the exercises, and offer opportunities for writing and discussion. Assignable in MyMathLab, the answers to all For Thought exercises are included in the back of the student edition.

NEW! Fill-in-the-blank exercises now appear at the beginning of the section exercise sets to help students learn definitions, rules, and theorems. These can be used for reading comprehension and are assignable in MyMathLab.

Writing/Discussion and Cooperative Learning Exercises deepen students' understanding by giving them the opportunity to express mathematical ideas both in writing and to their classmates during small group or team discussions.

Linking Concepts exercises,at the end of nearly every exercise set, are multi-part exercises and explorations that can be used for individual or group work. These encourage students to use concepts from the current section along with concepts from preceding sections (or chapters) to solve problems that illustrate the links among various concepts. Some parts of these questions are open-ended and require more thought than standard skill-building exercises.

Thinking Outside the Box problems throughout the text are designed to get students (and instructors) to do some mathematics just for fun. The problems can be used for individual or group work.

Tying it all together: End-of-chapter material helps students review and synthesize mathematical concepts as they prepare for the road ahead.

NEW! Cumulative review exercises now appear at the end of the section exercise sets to review the skills learned in previous sections and chapters. These exercises are under the heading "Rethinking" and are assignable in MyMathLab.

Highlights at the end of every chapter contain an overview of all of the concepts presented in the chapter along with brief examples to illustrate the concept.

Chapter Review exercises are designed to give students a comprehensive review of the chapter and prepare students for the chapter test.

Chapter Tests measure the students' readiness for a typical one-hour classroom test. Instructors may also use them as a model for their own end-of-chapter tests.

Tying It All Together exercises at the end of most chapters help students review selected concepts from the present and prior chapters and require students to integrate multiple concepts and skills. These exercises are assignable in MyMathLab.

Instructor-friendly tools save time before and during class.

Pop Quizzes are included in every section. These give instructors convenient 8- to 10-question quizzes that can be used in the classroom to confirm comprehension of the basics. Answers are located in the Annotated Instructor's Edition.

Example Numbers appear at the end of the direction line for nearly all groups of exercises, indicating which examples correspond to the exercises. These appear in the Annotated Instructor's Edition, and make it easier to assign homework problems.
