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

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






6. A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10






7. A comparison of two numbers by division






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






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






10. The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.
