ALGEBRA in WORDS 2: MORE Hints, Strategies and Simple Explanations
This is the follow-up and companion to the first, #1 selling, ALGEBRA in WORDS: A Guide of Hints, Strategies and Simple Explanations (2014), and the companion to WORD PROBLEMS DECODED (2015),
The central theme of this book is: COMMUNICATION, the key element that too many textbooks, instructors, and online videos lack. This book gives clarity to students to help them earn higher grades in classes such as: ALGEBRA 2, INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA, COLLEGE ALGEBRA, & PRE-CALCULUS, and some CALCULUS, and even helps instructors and tutors communicate material more effectively and efficiently.
This book is presented in a way to be your own personal tutor, by giving you direct insight into topics. It contains detailed PROCEDURES and ANNOTATED EXAMPLES you won’t find in any other book, study guide, or online video. This book is specifically designed to prevent confusion, address questions that many students have, and help you succeed with little effort and guesswork.
Another strength of this book is the way it helps you assimilate information, making learning easier. It is filled with click-able hyperlinks so you can easily jump to a related topic, example, or root definition. Keep it open to help you with your homework, use it to review material you missed in class, and use it to study for exams.
It contains the following, detailed chapters: DEFINITIONS SYMBOL & MEANING IN WORDS INCLUSIVE vs. NONINCLUSIVE INTERVAL & SET-BUILDER NOTATION AND vs. OR THE REAL ORDER OF OPERATIONS: GEMA SOLVING (SIMPLE) INEQUALITIES SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS W/ TWO ABSOLUTE VALUE GROUPS SOLVING & GRAPHING A COMPOUND INEQUALITY SOLVING & GRAPHING ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES ASSUMPTIONS for “AND†& “OR†UNION vs. INTERSECTION FUNCTIONS TREND OF A GRAPH GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITIES (in two variables) SYSTEMS OF LINEAR INEQUALITIES DIVIDING POLYNOMIALS USING LONG DIVISION SPECIAL CASE: THE SUM OR DIFFERENCE OF TWO CUBES CAN A PERFECT SQUARE ALSO BE A PERFECT CUBE?
