When tutoring I found many students like this website,

http://www.mathsisfun.com/

It is an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn those topics and it is similar to Student100's suggestion of 'purplemath' (also a great website) but with more visuals.

Purchase the Cohen Pre Cal book which can be found for under 10 dollars. I believe Barnes and Noble has it still for 5.00 shipped. Problems can be a bit challenging. Although it lacks some applications. I thought the book was easy to understand.
