Modeling, Functions, and Graphs Katherine Yoshiwara - 1 online resource - Open textbook library. .
1. Functions and Their Graphs -- 2. Modeling with Functions -- 3. Power Functions -- 4. Exponential Functions -- 5. Logarithmic Functions -- 6. Quadratic Functions -- 7. Polynomials and Rational Functions -- 8. Linear Systems -- 9. Sequences and Series
Modeling, Functions, and Graphs covers the content of a typical college algebra course with an emphasis on functions and modeling; when combined with a trigonometry text or supplement, this text can be used in a precalculus course. The text employs a variety of applications to motivate mathematical thinking. Each chapter opens with a problem of historical or contemporary significance highlighting the material in the chapter, and includes by an Investigation that previews the skills to be introduced. These Investigations can be used in class as guided explorations or as projects for small groups. We have also provided a set of more challenging Projects at the end of each chapter.
