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. All possible arrangements of a collection of things - where the order is important. The number of ______________ of n distinct objects is n






2. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






4. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






5. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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






7. Ratios that have the same value.






8. The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.






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






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






11. Consists of numbers and operations






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






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






14. An expression constructed from a set of terms by multiplying each term by a constant and adding the results.






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






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






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






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

35. An expression that contains a square root






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






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






38. The order in which operations in an expression to be evaluated are carried out. 1. parentheses 2. exponets 3. multiplication and divison 4. addition and subtraction
