Student Resource Manual to Accompany Algebra and Trigonometry (3 Revised edition)

This manual is intended to accompany Algebra and Trigonometry, Third Edition, by Dennis G.

Zill and Jacqueline M. Dewar. It consists of four parts, described below. Use of a Calculator This part is not intended to be a comprehensive manual on the use of a graphing calculator in a Precalculus course.
