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 ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units






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






3. A number that can not be written a/b






4. 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.






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






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






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






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






9. A rate that has a denominator of 1






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






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






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






13. A single term made up of numbers and variables






14. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






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






17. The order of the factors does not change the product a x b = b x a






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






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






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






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






22. The distance around a circle.






23. The product of any number and one is that number.






24. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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. A






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






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






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






31. y = mx + b






32. A diagram used to show the total number of possible outcomes in an experiment






33. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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






35. To find the value of an expression






36. A number that has more than two factors






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






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






39. 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






40. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






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






42. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






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






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






46. A(b + c) = ab + ac - an + ac = a(b+ c)






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






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






49. Is the middle value in a data set where the numbers are ordered least to greatest
