CLEP College Algebra Vocab

Subjects : clep, math, algebra
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A pair of numbers - (x - y) - that indicate the position of a point on a coordinate plane.






2. A(b + c) = ab + ac - an + ac = a(b+ c)






3. skip-counting by any given number Ex: 4 - 8 - 12 - 16...






4. The point where a graph crosses the x-axis






5. Positive and Negative Whole Numbers and 0. Examples: .... -3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3.....(Does not include fractions or decimals)






6. What should occur in a probability experiment...an experiment is not actually done






7. Is the number that is repeatedly multiplied in a power






8. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






9. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






10. The distance around a circle.






11. A whole number that has exactly two factors - 1 and itself.






12. The order of the factors does not change the product a x b = b x a






13. Terms that have identical variable parts raised to the same power






14. The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.






15. The y-value in a function






16. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






17. To get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality






18. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






19. Ratios that have the same value.






20. Changing the grouping of factors will not change the product - (ab)c = a(bc)






21. one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2

28. In a sum - you can add terms in any order - a + b = b + a






29. A term that has no variable and does not change






30. A way to figure out the total number of ways different events can occur. If there are a ways for one activity to occur - and b ways for a second activity to occur - then there are a * b ways for both to occur.






31. Is a number made of repeated factors






32. A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units






33. A mathematical sentence with an equal sign that shows that two expressions are equivalent






34. Number in front of a variable

41. probability based on what happens when an experiment is actually done






42. The sum of the values in a data set divided by the number of values in the set






43. A rate that has a denominator of 1






44. A line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle (is also half the diameter)






45. A statement that compares two quantities using < - > - = -= - or ?
