A college algebra textbook by Michael Sullivan covering review topics, equations and inequalities, graphs, functions and their graphs, linear and quadratic functions, polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, systems of equations and inequalities, sequences and induction, counting, and probability. Sullivan CollAlg 11e shares its algebra chapters with Sullivan Precalculus but drops the trigonometry chapters.
Review of algebra fundamentals: real numbers, polynomials, factoring, synthetic division, rational expressions, and exponents.
Solving equations (linear, quadratic, complex, radical, absolute value); solving inequalities; modeling with equations.
Distance and midpoint formulas; graphs of equations; lines; circles.
Functions, graphs of functions, transformations, and mathematical models.
Linear functions and models; quadratic functions, models, and inequalities.
Polynomial functions, rational functions, polynomial/rational inequalities, real and complex zeros.
Composite, one-to-one, exponential, logarithmic functions; properties of logs; exp/log equations; financial models; growth/decay.
Linear systems, matrices, determinants, matrix algebra, and nonlinear systems.
Sequences, arithmetic and geometric sequences/series, and the binomial theorem.
