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 single term made up of numbers and variables






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






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






4. The ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. Favorable over Unfavorable.






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






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






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






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






9. A comparison of two numbers by division






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






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






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






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






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






15. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






16. An equation that states that two ratios are equal - Ex: 1/2 = x/10






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






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






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






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






21. The point in the exact middle of a circle






22. y = mx + b






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






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






25. The x-value in a function






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






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






28. The sum of the values in a data set divided by the number of values in the set






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






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






31. The bottom of a triangle






32. An equation that shows a relationship among two or more quantities






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






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






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






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






37. 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.






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






39. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






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