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.

11. Is the set of all points that are an equal distance from a point called the center






12. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






14. In an expression are separated by addition and subtraction signs






15. A plane that is divided into four regions by a horizontal line called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis - aka 'the Cartesian plane' after Ren






16. A single term made up of numbers and variables






17. A diagram used to show the total number of possible outcomes in an experiment






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






19. operations that undo each other - such as addition and subtraction

21. Consists of numbers and operations






22. An equation that shows a relationship among two or more quantities






23. An event that is not affected by another event.

30. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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






32. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0.
