Chapter Opener
InterAct Math tutorials provide you with online practice problems and guided solutions.

Once you've practiced and reviewed exponential and logarithmic functions, consider their everyday uses. Refer back to page 681, the first page of Chapter 9 in your Intermediate Algebra textbook and review the application on the cargo area of a delivery van.

Here's your chance to explore the World Wide Web and practice your new skills at the same time. What sort of cargo shipping experience have you had? Have you ever needed to ship an unusual item? What type of container did you use? Do you consider a pet cargo? Visit some related sites to learning about intermodal transportation and cargo shipping.

After you've practiced and after you've explored, don't forget about your upcoming Chapter Test. Prepare for your exam by working through our Chapter 9 Review, and then check your answers. These free downloadable files are accessible by selecting the Chapter Review button at the top of this page.

Good luck!
