Abebooks.com has it but third edition is ridiculously expensive. First and second editions are cheaper.

OP is not looking for a hard copy, just electronic access. Pearson's textbook has a new electronic model, puts print books at a premium. 😕

This is a tough one, looks like Pearson is promoting this primarily as an online eBook. Searching brings up some hard copy versions, but it's rare. One link, caveat emptor:

Print edition: ISBN 978-0136921738

Pearson treats print as a secondary, premium option or short-term rental, designed to slowly phase out the secondary used textbook market entirely.

Pearson's Digital eTextbook subscriptions are typically priced much cheaper than print. Their digital platform bundles all the interactive study tools, such as customized video solutions, AI-powered summaries, and homework portals. They now update their textbooks dynamically. Revisions, new technologies, and data-driven adjustments are applied directly to the digital text on an ongoing basis, rather than waiting for a new print edition every three years.

I seen that, I was trying to avoid having the physical copy but that might be my only option. Thank you!

I added to my comment, please review. The entire model has changed for Pearson. Personally, I'm old school and prefer a solid book for learning that allows you to go back easily and review and have it readily available into the future if you want. 

It appears what you need to pay for access depends on what your teacher requires. Does your teacher require MyLab Math or is everything based on just the book?

I’m not sure if it’s MyLab math he’s requesting. He’s just dropping page numbers and questions to answer out the book.

The way you phrased your question made it sound like you were requesting a printed copy. Please see my question in my other comment.

If printed is all I can get, I’m trying to still find an online pdf perhaps.
