Overview
A Graphical Approach to College Algebra covers functions through a consistent, 4-part process. The authors ask you to 1: [See] Examine the nature of the graph; 2: Solve a typical equation analytically and graphically; 3: Solve the related inequality analytically and graphically; 4: Apply analytic and graphical methods to solve an application. This proven approach fosters a deep visual and graphical understanding of math, solidifying a stronger connection to the mathematical world around us. Careful chapter layouts, exercises, review questions and chapter features give you a comprehensive roadmap for success in the course. The 7th Edition adds a new Unifying the Function feature after introducing each major class of functions; updates data throughout with new topics including active Twitter users, organic food sales and more; adds nearly 500 new or updated exercises; and much more.

Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
