Solutions manual to accompany Harold Jacob's Elementary Algebra textbook. This manual includes fully worked-out solutions to some problems in the textbook. In contrast, the teacher's guide offers additional teaching notes and miniature transparencies, but only the answers to the problems in the text.
Introductory Comments
The exercises for each lesson in Elementary Algebra are arranged in four sets. Those in Set I review ideas from preceding lessons, affording continual practice with material considered earlier in the course. Sets II and III enable the student to apply the concepts of the new lesson. Because both sets have the same con-tent, you will probably prefer to work one set or the other. Answers to all of the Set II exercises are given at the back of the textbook.
Those answers, together with those to Sets I, III, and IV, are also included in this book.
Solutions to many of the exercises appear in brackets following the answers. These solutions vary in detail according to the complexity of the exercise. For those exercises that can be solved in a variety of ways, just one example solution is given.
Most of the Set IV exercises are intended to challenge the better students, although some are simple enough that everyone can be successful with them. They should be considered optional and counted as extra credit.
Detailed lesson plans for the course are available in the Teacher's Guide to Elementary Algebra.
