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. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






3. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






6. Is the difference of the greatest value and the least value in a set of data.






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






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






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






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






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






12. Number in front of a variable






13. Fractions that have the same value and the same simplest form






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






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






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






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






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






19. The steepness of a line on a graph - rise over run






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






21. The bottom of a triangle






22. The distance around a circle.






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






24. To get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality






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






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






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






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






29. 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






30. To find the value of an expression






31. An expression that contains a square root






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

50. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares
