In Exercises 7—12, express the interval in terms of an inequality involving absolute value. In Exercises 17—22, express the set of numbers x satisfying the given condition as an interval. For the second case, note there are no real zeros. The distance from a to 5 is less than The distance from a to 3 is at most 2. See Exercise 6f for an example of this.
Plot each pair of points and compute the distance between them: a 1, 4 and 3, 2 b 2, 1 and 2, 4. Find all points in the xy-plane with integer coordinates located at a distance 5 from the origin. Then find all points with integer coordinates located at a distance 5 from 2, 3.
This leads to 12 points with integer coordinates: 5, 0 3, 4 4, 3. This gives the 12 points 7, 3 5, 7 6, 6. Give an example of a function whose domain D has three elements and whose range R has two elements. Does a function exist whose domain D has two elements and whose range R has three elements? There is no function whose domain has two elements and range has three elements. If that happened, one of the domain elements would get assigned to more than one element of the range, which would contradict the definition of a function.
In Exercises 53—56, determine where f is increasing. From the graph, we see that the function is increasing for all real. A , C , and D all fail the vertical line test.

Joel R. Thomas, Jr. Description For 3-semester or 4-quartercourses covering singlevariable and multivariable calculus, taken by students of mathematics, engineering, natural sciences, or economics. This package includes MyLab Math. Clear, precise, concise University Calculus: Early Transcendentals helps students generalize and apply the key ideas of calculus through clear and precise explanations, thoughtfully chosen examples, meticulously crafted figures, and superior exercise sets.
Reach every student by pairing this text with MyLab Math MyLab Math is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab Math personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. Learn more about MyLab Math. Preface Preface is available for download in PDF format. Key topics are presented both formally and informally. The distinction between the two is clearly stated as each is developed, including an explanation as to why a formal definition is needed.
Ideas are introduced with examples and intuitive explanations that are then generalized so that students are not overwhelmed by abstraction. Results are both carefully stated and proved throughout the book, and proofs are clearly explained and motivated. Students and instructors who proceed through the formal material will find it as carefully presented and explained as the informal development. If the instructor decides to downplay formality at any stage, it will not cause problems with later developments in the text.
The files are fully editable making them a robust and flexible teaching tool. Assess student understanding of key concepts and skills through a wide range of time-tested exercises Updated - Strong exercise sets feature a great breadth of problems — progressing from skills problems to applied and theoretical problems — to encourage students to think about and practice the concepts until they achieve mastery.
In the 4th Edition , the authors added new exercises and exercise types throughout, many of which are geometric in nature.
Writing exercises throughout the text ask students to explore and explain a variety of calculus concepts and applications. In addition, Computer Explorations give the option of assigning exercises that require a computer algebra system CAS, such as Maple or Mathematica.
Support a complete understanding of calculus for students at varying levels Each major topic is developed with both simple and more advanced examples to give the basic ideas and illustrate deeper concepts.
Updated - Figures are conceived and rendered to provide insight for students and support conceptual reasoning. In the 4th Edition , new figures are added to enhance understanding and graphics are revised throughout to emphasize clear visualization.
Enhanced - Annotations within examples shown in blue type guide students through the problem solution and emphasize that each step in a mathematical argument is rigorously justified. For the 4th Edition , many more annotations were added.
End-of-chapter materials include review questions, practice exercises covering the entire chapter, and a series of Additional and Advanced Exercises with more challenging or synthesizing problems. The results of this analysis helped improve the quality and quantity of text and MyLab exercises and learning aids that matter the most to instructors and students.
There are approximately assignable exercises in MyLab Math, of which are new to this edition. This new exercise type was widely praised by users of the 3rd edition, so more were added to the 4th edition. New - Additional Conceptual Questions focus on deeper, theoretical understanding of the key concepts in calculus.
New - A full suite of Interactive Figures has been added to support teaching and learning. The figures are designed to be used in lecture as well as by students independently. The figures are editable using the freely available GeoGebra software.
Videos that use the Interactive Figures to explain key concepts are also included. Updated - Instructional videos: Over instructional videos augment the already robust collection within the course.
These videos support the overall approach of the text by going beyond routine procedures to show students how to generalize and connect key concepts. The Guide to Video-Based Assignments makes it easy to assign videos for homework by showing which MyLab Math exercises correspond to each video. Learning Catalytics fosters student engagement and peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Access pre-built exercises created specifically for calculus, including the additional conceptual questions.
Empower each learner Integrated Review: This MyLab course features pre-made, assignable and editable quizzes to assess the prerequisite skills needed for each chapter, plus personalized remediation for any gaps in skills that are identified. Each student, therefore, receives just the help that he or she needs--no more, no less. New - Enhanced Sample Assignments: These section-level assignments include just-in-time prerequisite review, help keep skills fresh with spaced practice of key concepts, and provide opportunities to work exercises without learning aids so students check their understanding.
