Trang 1This manual contains detailed solutions to all of the exercises of the text College
Algebra, eleventh edition, by R David Gustafson and Jeff Hughes.
Many of the exercises in the text may be solved using more than one method, but it
is not feasible to list all possible solutions in this manual Also, some of the
exercises may have been solved in this manual using a method that differs slightly from that presented in the text There are a few exercises in the text whose solutions may vary from person to person Some of these solutions may not have been
included in this manual For the solution to an exercise like this, the notation
"answers may vary" has been included.
If you are a student using this manual, please remember that only reading a solution does not teach you how to solve a problem To repeat a commonly used phrase, mathematics is not a spectator sport You MUST make an honest attempt to solve each exercise in the text without using this manual first This manual should be viewed more or less as a last resort Above all, DO NOT simply copy the solution from this manual onto your own paper Doing so will not help you learn how to do the exercise, nor will it help you to do better on quizzes or tests.
I would like to thank Paul McCombs from Rock Valley College and Cynthia Ashton
of Brooks/Cole Publishing Company for their help and support This solutions manual was prepared using EXP 5.1.
This book is dedicated to John, who helps me to realize that mathematics cannot describe everything in life.
May your study of this material be successful and rewarding.
