Ask the Authors! We have taught math for many years. During that time, we have had students ask us a number of questions about mathematics and this course. Here you find some of the questions we have been asked most often, starting with the big one.

Dick Aufmann

Joanne Lockwood

Why do I have to take this course?

You may have heard that “Math is everywhere.” That is probably a slight exaggeration, but math does find its way into many disciplines. There are obvious places like engineering, science, and medicine. There are other disciplines such as business, social science, and political science where math may be less obvious but still essential. If you are going to be an artist, writer, or musician, the direct connection to math may be even less obvious. Even so, as art historians who have studied the Mona Lisa have shown, there is a connection to math. But, suppose you find these reasons not all that compelling. There is still a reason to learn basic math skills: You will be a better consumer and be able to make better financial choices for you and your family. For instance, is it better to buy a car or lease a car? Math can provide an answer.

I find math difficult. Why is that? It is true that some people, even very smart people,

find math difficult. Some of this can be traced to previous math experiences. If your basic skills are lacking, it is more difficult to understand the math in a new math course. Some of the difficulty can be attributed to the ideas and concepts in math. They can be quite challenging to learn. Nonetheless, most of us can learn and understand the ideas in the math courses that are required for graduation. If you want math to be less difficult, practice. When you have finished practicing, practice some more. Ask an athlete, actor, singer, dancer, artist, doctor, skateboarder, or (name a profession) what it takes to become successful and the one common characteristic they all share is that they practiced—a lot.

Why is math important? As we mentioned earlier, math is found in many fields of study. There are, however, other reasons to take a math course. Primary among these reasons is to become a better problem solver. Math can help you learn critical thinking skills. It can help you develop a logical plan to solve a problem. Math can help you see relationships between ideas and to identify patterns. When employers are asked what they look for in a new employee, being a problem solver is one of the highest ranked criteria.

What do I need to do to pass this course? The most important thing you must do is to know and understand the requirements outlined by your instructor. These requirements are usually given to you in a syllabus. Once you know what is required, you can chart a course of action. Set time aside to study and do homework. If possible, choose your classes so that you have a free hour after your math class. Use this time to review your lecture notes, rework examples given by the instructor, and begin your homework. All of us eventually need help, so know where you can get assistance with this class. This means knowing your instructor’s office hours, the hours of the math help center, and how to access available online resources. And finally, do not get behind. Try to do some math EVERY day, even if it is for only 20 minutes.

Preface

A

mong the many questions we ask when we begin the process of revising a textbook, the most important is, “How can we improve the learning experience for the student?” We find answers to this question in a variety of ways, but most commonly by talking to students and instructors and by evaluating the written feedback we receive from instructors. Bearing this feedback in mind, our ultimate goal as we set out to create the sixth edition of Prealgebra: An Applied Approach was to provide students with more materials to help them better understand the underlying concepts presented in this course. As a result, we have made the following changes to the new edition. New to this edition is the Focus on Success vignette that appears at the beginning of each chapter. Focus on Success offers practical tips for improving study habits and performance on tests and exams. We now include an Apply the Concept box within the objectives that teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The arithmetic operation is applied to a real-world situation so that students can relate the operation to their everyday lives. For example, multiplication of whole numbers is applied to determining the total number of cans of soda in eight six-packs of soda. HOW TO examples offer detailed instructions for solving a variety of problems. The definition and key concept boxes have been enhanced in this edition; they now include examples to show how the general case translates to specific cases. In each exercise set, the first group of exercises is now titled Concept Check. The Concept Check exercises focus on the concepts that lie behind the skills developed in the section. We consider an understanding of these concepts essential to a student’s success in mastering the skills required to complete the exercises that follow. In the News exercises are application exercises found within most exercise sets. These exercises are based on newsworthy data and are drawn from current events. Every chapter contains Check Your Progress exercises. This feature appears approximately mid-chapter and tests students’ understanding of the concepts presented to that point in the chapter. We trust that the new and enhanced features of the sixth edition will help students more successfully engage with the content. By narrowing the gap between the concrete and the abstract, between the real world and the theoretical, students should more plainly see that mastering the skills and topics presented is well within their reach and well worth the effort.

New to This Edition • • • • •

Apply the Concept boxes are provided within objectives that teach arithmetic operations. Concept Check exercises appear at the beginning of each exercise set. Enhanced definition and key concept boxes now include examples that illustrate how the general case applies to specific cases. The Focus on Success feature at the beginning of each chapter offers practical guidance to help students develop positive study habits. Check Your Progress exercises appear approximately mid-chapter and test students’ understanding of the concepts presented up to that point in the chapter.

HOW TO examples offer detailed explanations of problem-solving techniques. Tips for Success now appear in every chapter. In the News articles within the exercise sets relate the math skills being learned to current events. Application problems throughout the text have been updated. Projects or Group Activities are now included at the end of each exercise set. Chapter A, AIM for Success, now appears as the first chapter of the text. This chapter describes skills used by students who have been successful in this course. Topics include how to stay motivated, making a commitment to success, time management, and how to prepare for and take tests. A guide to the textbook is included to help students use its features effectively. More annotations have been added to the worked Examples, to more effectively explain the steps of the solutions. Many of the Chapter Summaries have been expanded to include more entries and more descriptive explanations.

Organizational Changes We have made the following changes in order to improve the effectiveness of the textbook and enhance the student’s learning experience. •

In Section 2.1, the introduction to positive and negative numbers has been rewritten. The material is now easier for the student to understand, which will result in a better start to the semester! The introduction to Objective 3.3A has been reorganized and streamlined. In Section 5.1, the presentation of the Properties of Real Numbers has been reorganized. Additional examples of each property are provided. The new format makes it easier for students to understand and apply the concepts. Section 5.4 now includes more detailed examples of each Rule for Simplifying Exponential Expressions. Section 5.6 provides more detailed examples of the Rule for Dividing Exponential Expressions, the Definition of Zero as an Exponent, and the Definition of Negative Exponents. In Section 5.7, the table for translating verbal phrases into mathematical expressions has been expanded to include more of the verbal phrases students will encounter in application problems. The design is more prominent, and the table is easier to use as a reference. Objectives 6.2B and 6.3C now provide a wider range of application problems that make use of first-degree equations. The exposition in Section 6.6 has been expanded to provide more explanation and more annotated examples on the important topic of graphing linear equations in two variables. Section 7.1 contains a new introduction to the metric system. Chapter 8, Percent, has been revised substantially. In Section 8.1, the exposition was increased from two to four pages to provide a slower and more descriptive introduction to the crucial topic of percent. More examples are given in the exposition, and additional numbered Examples and You Try Its provide students with the exposure they need to understand the concepts. Two pages have been added to the Section 8.1 exercise set. The expanded exercise set provides more basic, concept-driven exercises; more application problems to help students un-

derstand how percent is used in the real world; and more practice in writing percents as fractions and decimals and in writing fractions and decimals as percents. The topic of the basic percent equation is presented in Section 8.2. In the new edition, the exposition is two pages longer, for a slower, more detailed introduction to solving percent problems. Three pages have been added to the Section 8.3 exercise set to provide students with more practice in solving percent problems. There are more hands-on exercises; for example, the student is asked to shade a given percent of a grid and circle a given percent of a number of objects. Objective 10.2B has been expanded to provide students with more examples of, and practice with, determining the five values that make up a box-and-whiskers plot. In Objective 10.2C, the flow and display of the material has been improved. Students will find it easier to follow the steps involved in calculating standard deviation.

Point of Interest Chinese manuscripts dating from about 250 b.c. contain the first recorded use of negative numbers. However, it was not until late in the fourteenth century that mathematicians generally accepted these numbers.

Introduction to Integers 10. Simplify: 18 2 62 2 1 12 4 4 # 32

To identify the order relation between two integers

Numbers greater than zero are called positive numbers. Numbers less than zero are called negative numbers.

A positive number can be indicated by placing a plus sign (1) in front of the number. For example, we can write 14 instead of 4. Both 14 and 4 represent “positive 4.” Usually, however, the plus sign is omitted and it is understood that the number is a positive number. A negative number is indicated by placing a negative sign (2) in front of the number. The number 21 is read “negative one,” 22 is read “negative two,” and so on. The number line can be extended to the left of zero to show negative numbers.

In Chapter 1, only zero and numbers greater than zero were discussed. In this chapter, numbers less than zero are introduced. Phrases such as “7 degrees below zero,” “$50 in debt,” and “20 feet below sea level” refer to numbers less than zero. 7/25/12 11:23 AM

The integers are . . . , 24, 23, 22, 21, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . The integers to the right of zero are the positive integers. The integers to the left of zero are the negative integers. Zero is an integer, but it is neither positive nor negative. The point corresponding to 0 on the number line is called the origin.
