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 rate that has a denominator of 1






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






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






4. 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.






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






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






7. To find the value of an expression






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






9. A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10






10. 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






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






12. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






13. The distance around a circle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. What should occur in a probability experiment...an experiment is not actually done






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






22. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






24. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






26. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






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






29. The order in which operations in an expression to be evaluated are carried out. 1. parentheses 2. exponets 3. multiplication and divison 4. addition and subtraction






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






31. A comparison of two numbers by division






32. Consists of numbers and operations






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






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






35. The product of any number and one is that number.






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






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






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






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






40. In an expression are separated by addition and subtraction signs






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






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






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






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






45. Ratios that have the same value.






46. The number that is on the other side of 0 and is exactly the same distance away from 0






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






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






49. Inequalities that have the same solution






50. The point in the exact middle of a circle
