Overview
Precalculus: Concepts Through Functions, A Right Triangle Approach to Trigonometry introduces functions at the beginning of the text, then introduces and develops a new function in every chapter. Known for connecting with students, esteemed authors Sullivan and Sullivan focus on the fundamentals (preparing for class, practicing with homework, and reviewing key concepts), which encourages you to master basic skills and develop the conceptual understanding needed for this and future courses. Graphing utility coverage is optional and can be adjusted for different course needs. The 5th Edition offers abundant new and updated features including new Challenge Problems, new Interactive Figure Exercises, and much more.

When you purchase an eTextbook subscription, it will last 4 months. You can renew your subscription by selecting Extend subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before your initial term ends.
If you extend your subscription, we'll automatically charge you every month. If you made a one‑time payment for your initial 4‑month term, you'll now pay monthly. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
To avoid the next payment charge, select Cancel subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before the renewal date. You can subscribe again in the future by purchasing another eTextbook subscription.
When you purchase a Channels subscription it will last 1 month, 3 months or 12 months, depending on the plan you chose. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your term unless you cancel it.
We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
A Study & Exam Prep subscription includes video lessons, practice problems and other study tools. Get unlimited access to the full range of subjects:
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.
