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






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






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

17. A ratio whose denominator is 100






18. The distance around a circle.






19. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






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






22. The bottom of a triangle

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






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

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






38. An event that is not affected by another event.






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