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 distance a number is from 0 on the number line - value of n is written l n l






2. Is the difference of the greatest value and the least value in a set of data.






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






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






5. A ratio whose denominator is 100






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






7. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






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






10. 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






11. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






13. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






15. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






23. The y-value in a function






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






25. An expression that contains a square root






26. 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.






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






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






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






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

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






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






34. An event that is not affected by another event.

40. A rate that has a denominator of 1






41. 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
