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.

10. 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.






11. The sum of a number and zero is always that number.






12. A ratio whose denominator is 100






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






14. Apr - the percent of the principal you pay or earn a year






15. The distance a number is from 0 on the number line - value of n is written l n l






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

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






26. Number in front of a variable






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






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






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






30. To find the value of an expression






31. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






32. 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






33. Consists of numbers and operations






34. A model of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.

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






37. 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.

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






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






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






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






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






48. An equation whose answers are ordered pairs (x -y) and whose answers graph a straight line






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