    Try emailing your instructor and ask them? Or go to the website your book is through and you should find it on there.

  • The 9780470578773 ISBN you wrote is one that includes an access code - are you sure your friend doesn't have it ?

    If not you can purchase a code from Wiley-Plus here:

    https://www.wileyplus.com/WileyCDA/

    I understand it should cost about $50, so if you can find a used copy that includes the access code (make sure with the vendor), you may be able to save some money. The standard ISBN for Applied Calculus (4th ed) is 9780470170526.

    You can buy just the access codes on Amazon. However, it might be hard to find for less popular books. Alternatively, you could just go to the website that you would need access to and they let you buy access there, but its usually more expensive than getting the access code through a third party. Also, in some cases, but its rare, you can find a used textbook on amazon where the person hasn't used the access code yet. I know you want to use Cengage, but that might be cheaper. In my experience, Cengage wasn't to great to work with, but I think they offer refunds.
