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. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






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






4. Number in front of a variable






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. Is the number that is repeatedly multiplied in a power






14. To find the value of an expression

16. A






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






18. A number that has more than two factors






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






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






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






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






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






24. A statement that compares two quantities using < - > - = -= - or ?






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






26. A rate that has a denominator of 1






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






28. 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

38. An expression that contains a square root






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






40. Is the set of all points that are an equal distance from a point called the center






41. The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.






42. To get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality
