Opis: Elementary Algebra - Robert P. Hostetler, Ron Larson

Larson IS student success. ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA, International Edition owes its success to the hallmark features for which the Larson team is known: learning by example, a straightforward and accessible writing style, emphasis on visualization through the use of graphs to reinforce algebraic and numeric solutions and to interpret data, and comprehensive exercise sets. These pedagogical features are carefully coordinated to ensure that students are better able to make connections between mathematical concepts and understand the content. With a bright, appealing design, the new Fifth Edition builds on the Larson tradition of guided learning by incorporating a comprehensive range of student success materials to help develop students' proficiency and conceptual understanding of algebra. The text also continues coverage and integration of geometry in examples and exercises.1. THE REAL NUMBER SYSTEM. Real Numbers: Order and Absolute Value. Adding and Subtracting Integers.
