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 ratio whose denominator is 100






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






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






4. The x-value in a function

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






25. 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.






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






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