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






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






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






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






5. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






7. y = mx + b






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






9. The set of all the input (x-values) for a function






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






11. equations that have the same solution






12. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






14. A single term made up of numbers and variables






15. A rate that has a denominator of 1






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






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






18. The point where a graph crosses the x-axis

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






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






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

27. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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