Opis: Finite Mathematics with Applications - Thomas W. Hungerford, John Holcomb, Margaret L. Lial

This book presents the content and applications in an accessible manner while maintaining an appropriate level of rigor. The authors proceed from familiar material to new, and from concrete examples to general rules and formulas. This edition retains its focus on real-world problem solving, but has been refreshed with a wealth of new data in the examples and exercises-42% of the 452 examples are new or revised, and 31% of the 3,741 exercises are new or revised.Chapter 1: Algebra and Equations 1.1 The Real Numbers 1.2 Polynomials 1.3 Factoring 1.4 Rational Expressions 1.5 Exponents and Radicals 1.6 First-Degree Equations 1.7 Quadratic Equations Chapter 1 Summary Chapter 1 Review Exercises Case Study 1: Consumers Often Defy Common Sense Chapter 2: Graphs, Lines, and Inequalities 2.1 Graphs 2.2 Equations of Lines 2.3 Linear Models 2.4 Linear Inequalities 2.5 Polynomial and Rational Inequalities Chapter 2 Summary Chapter 2 Review Exercises Case Study 2: Using Extrapolation to Predict Life Expectancy Chapter 3: Functions and Graphs 3.1 Functions 3.2 Graphs of Functions 3.3 Applications of Linear Functions 3.4 Quadratic Functions 3.5 Applications of Quadratic Functions 3.6 Polynomial Functions 3.7 Rational Functions Chapter 3 Summary Chapter 3 Review Exercises Case Study 3: Architectural Arches Chapter 4: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions 4.1 Exponential Functions 4.2 Applications of Exponential Functions 4.3 Logarithmic Functions 4.4 Logarithmic and Exponential Equations Chapter 4 Summary Chapter 4 Review Exercises Case Study 4: Characteristics of the Monkeyface Prickleback Chapter 5: Mathematics of Finance 5.1 Simple Interest and Discount 5.2 Compound Interest 5.3 Annuities, Future Value, and Sinking Funds 5.4 Annuities, Present Value, and Amortization Chapter 5 Summary Chapter 5 Review Exercises Case Study 5: Continuous Compounding Chapter 6: Systems of Linear Equations and Matrices 6.1 Systems of Two Linear Equations in Two Variables 6.2 Larger Systems of Linear Equations 6.3 Applications of Systems of Linear Equations 6.4 Basic Matrix Operations 6.5 Matrix Products and Inverses 6.6 Applications of Matrices Chapter 6 Summary Chapter 6 Review Exercises Case Study 6: Matrix Operations and Airline Route Maps Chapter 7: Linear Programming 7.1 Graphing Linear Inequalities in two Variables 7.2 Linear Programming: The Graphical Method 7.3 Applications of Linear Programming 7.4 The Simplex Method: Maximization 7.5 Maximization Applications 7.6 The Simplex Method: Duality and Minimization 7.7 The Simplex Method: Nonstandard Problems Chapter 7 Summary Chapter 7 Review Exercises Case Study 7: Cooking with Linear Programming Chapter 8: Sets and Probability 8.1 Sets 8.2 Applications of Venn Diagrams 8.3 Introduction to Probability 8.4 Basic Concepts of Probability 8.5 Conditional Probability and Independent Events 8.6 Bayes' Formula Chapter 8 Summary Chapter 8 Review Exercises Case Study 8: Medical Diagnosis Chapter 9: Counting, Probability Distributions, and Further Topics in Probability 9.1 Probability Distributions and Expected Value 9.2 The Multiplication Principle, Permutations, and Combinations 9.3 Applications of Counting 9.4 Binomial Probability 9.5 Markov Chains 9.6 Decision Making Chapter 9 Summary Chapter 9 Review Exercises Case Study 9: QuickDraw(R) from the New York State Lottery Chapter 10: Introduction to Statistics 10.1 Frequency Distributions 10.2 Measures of Central Tendency 10.3 Measures of Variation 10.4 Normal Distributions 10.5 Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution Chapter 10 Summary Chapter 10 Review Exercises Case Study 10: Statistics in the Law-The Castaneda Decision Appendixes Appendix A: Graphing Calculators Appendix B: Tables Table 1: Formulas from Geometry Table 2: Areas under the Normal Curve Table 3: Integrals Answers to Selected Exercises Index of Applications Index
