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. To find the value of an expression






2. Ratios that have the same value.






3. The point where a graph crosses the y-axis






4. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






6. A rate that has a denominator of 1






7. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






10. Consists of numbers and operations






11. The y-value in a function






12. A relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






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






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






15. Number of favorable outcomes divided by total number of possible outcomes






16. When the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1






17. The number that is on the other side of 0 and is exactly the same distance away from 0






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






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






20. A






21. An event who's outcome does depend on the outcome of a previous event






22. A number that has more than two factors






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






24. The set of all the input (x-values) for a function






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






26. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself






27. An expression that contains a square root






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






29. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon






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. An event that is not affected by another event.






32. Is the value in a data set that occurs most often. If all values occur the same amount of times there is no mode for that set.






33. A set of three positive integers that work in the pythagorean theorem






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






35. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






37. The smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common






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






39. The number of square units needed to cover a flat surface






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






41. The distance across a circle through its center (is also twice the radius)






42. The amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object






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






44. A comparison of two numbers by division






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






46. The x-value in a function






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






48. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






50. The perpendicular (90 degrees) distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex
