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






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






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






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






5. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






6. The y-value in a function






7. A number that has a whole number for a square root ex: 9 - 16 - 121






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






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






10. A number that can not be written a/b






11. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






13. The sum of a number and zero is always that number.






14. A comparison of two numbers by division






15. A number written as the product of its prime factors






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






17. The x-value in a function






18. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






19. Number in front of a variable






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






21. A






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






23. To find the value of an expression






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






25. Is a number made of repeated factors






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






33. y = mx + b






34. The point in the exact middle of a circle






35. A single term made up of numbers and variables






36. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






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






39. An expression that contains a square root






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






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






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






43. The number of square units needed to cover a flat surface






44. The steepness of a line on a graph - rise over run






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






46. The perpendicular (90 degrees) distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex






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






48. Consists of numbers and operations






49. A line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle (is also half the diameter)






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