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






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






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






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






5. A whole number that has exactly two factors - 1 and itself.






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. one of four sections into which the coordinate plane is divided






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






14. A number that has a whole number for a square root ex: 9 - 16 - 121






15. A number that has more than two factors






16. A line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle (is also half the diameter)






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






18. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






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






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






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

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






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






26. 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.






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






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






29. Changing the grouping of terms will not change the sum - (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
