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 point in the exact middle of a circle






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






3. A rate that has a denominator of 1






4. The distance around a circle.






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






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






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






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






9. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






11. one of four sections into which the coordinate plane is divided






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






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






14. The y-value in a function






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






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






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

29. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






31. 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






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






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






34. Consists of numbers and operations






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






36. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself






37. A

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






49. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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