College Algebra with Corequisite Support
The only product built from the ground up with the corequisite student in mind, authors Julie Miller and Donna Gerken present College Algebra with Corequisite Support, 1st edition. Based on extensive feedback from today's corequisite math instructors, this book thoughtfully interweaves support-level and college algebra concepts, providing options for both comprehensive and just-in-time review.
To compliment this new approach, unique pedagogical features were created to fit the needs of this changing student audience. These include expanded examples that ensure sample problems don't leave out any important steps as well as an increased number of examples overall to help reinforce the skills students will build on throughout the course. Additionally, "for review" boxes can be found throughout the text to provide just-in-time review of important prerequisite concepts precisely where students need it.
With an emphasis on consistency between the text, technology, and supplementary resources, College Algebra with Corequisite Support is accompanied by a new suite of videos and online homework problems, as well as print resources such as lecture notes and a full corequisite skills workbook.
The end result is a comprehensive package of content and valuable resources that provide a seamless and flexible experience to fit a variety of teaching and learning styles.

Like most algebra texts of this level, I feel this lacks a proper set theory focus, particularly in defining and formatting solution _sets_ Other than that, it seems fine and adequate for a first year in college algebra. No good examples for power rule of exponents.
I was drawn to this Mar. 14, 2020 article online: "So There’s a Locust Plague Too?". I tried to compare it to the text and realized how woefully inadequate it is on the practical application of exponential functions. Best I could find is Ex. 3 "Creating a Model for Population Growth" on page 470.
Complaints:
* No formal definition of classes of numbers, like integers and quotients as to formally define "fractions" and thus why the "improper fraction" is required over "mixed fractions"
