nstructor’s Solutions Manual — Elementary and Intermediate Algebra for College Students, 5th Edition — Allen R. Angel & Dennis C. Runde

The Instructor’s Solutions Manual for Elementary and Intermediate Algebra for College Students, 5th Edition by Allen R. Angel and Dennis C. Runde provides fully worked-out solutions to all end-of-section and end-of-chapter problems from the official Pearson textbook. This comprehensive teaching resource enables instructors to efficiently prepare lessons, assignments, and exams while maintaining perfect alignment with the text’s structure and learning outcomes. The manual follows the complete organization of the 5th edition, beginning with Chapter 1: Real Numbers, which reviews fractions, properties of real numbers, inequalities, and the order of operations. Chapter 2: Solving Linear Equations focuses on combining like terms, applying equality properties, and solving linear equations with variables on one or both sides. Chapter 3: Applications of Algebra emphasizes translating and solving word problems involving geometry, motion, money, and mixtures. Chapter 4: Graphing Linear Equations introduces coordinate graphing, slope, and the slope-intercept form of lines. Chapter 5: Exponents and Polynomials explores exponent rules, scientific notation, and polynomial operations. Chapter 6: Factoring presents a complete treatment of factoring monomials, trinomials, and special products, along with solving quadratic equations by factoring. Chapter 7: Rational Expressions and Equations develops student understanding of simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding, and solving rational expressions and equations. Chapter 8: Functions and Their Graphs examines linear functions, function notation, modeling, and the algebra of functions. Chapter 9: Systems of Linear Equations extends into graphical, substitution, addition, and matrix methods for solving systems, including Cramer’s Rule. Chapter 10: Inequalities in One and Two Variables introduces linear and absolute value inequalities and their graphical solutions. Chapter 11: Roots, Radicals, and Complex Numbers covers rational exponents, radical simplification, and operations with radicals and complex numbers. Chapter 12: Quadratic Functions focuses on completing the square, the quadratic formula, applications, graphing quadratics, and inequalities. Chapter 13: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions explores exponential growth and decay, logarithmic properties, common and natural logs, and solving exponential/logarithmic equations. Chapter 14: Conic Sections provides geometric and algebraic treatments of parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas, concluding with nonlinear systems. Chapter 15: Sequences, Series, and the Binomial Theorem introduces arithmetic and geometric sequences and culminates in an exploration of binomial expansion.
