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






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






3. A single term made up of numbers and variables






4. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






6. Is a number made of repeated factors

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






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






22. Positive and Negative Whole Numbers and 0. Examples: .... -3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3.....(Does not include fractions or decimals)

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






29. A






30. To find the value of an expression






31. A decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely






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






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

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






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






42. 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.
