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.

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






22. Consists of numbers and operations






23. The total area of the 2-dimensional surfaces that make up a 3-dimensional object.






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






25. A comparison of two numbers by division






26. An equation that states that two ratios are equal - Ex: 1/2 = x/10






27. A pair of numbers - (x - y) - that indicate the position of a point on a coordinate plane.






28. The ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. Favorable over Unfavorable.
