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






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






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






4. The amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object






5. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. The distance around a circle.






13. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






15. A comparison of two numbers by division






16. Is a number made of repeated factors






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






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






19. Consists of numbers and operations






20. A model of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.






21. y = mx + b






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






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






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






25. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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






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






28. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






29. The x-value in a function






30. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






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






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






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






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






36. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






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






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






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






41. A






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






43. To find the value of an expression






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






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






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






47. Is the value in a data set that occurs most often. If all values occur the same amount of times there is no mode for that set.






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






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






50. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter
