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






2. A comparison of two numbers by division






3. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






5. A






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






7. A relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






8. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






10. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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






12. The y-value in a function






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






14. The x-value in a function






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






16. An event who's outcome does depend on the outcome of a previous event






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






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






19. A plane that is divided into four regions by a horizontal line called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis - aka 'the Cartesian plane' after Ren






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






21. 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.






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






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

30. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






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






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






34. The distance around a circle.

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






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






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