A Graphical Approach to College Algebra

A Graphical Approach to College Algebra, 7th Edition, published by Pearson, organizes core college algebra instruction around the central theme of functions.

The textbook addresses foundations such as real numbers and the rectangular coordinate system alongside relations and functions. It examines linear functions, equations of lines, linear models, and methods for solving linear equations and inequalities.

Instruction follows a consistent four-part framework. Readers examine the graph of a function, solve equations analytically and graphically, solve related inequalities through both approaches, and apply these methods to contextual problems.
