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 across a circle through its center (is also twice the radius)






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






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






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






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






6. 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






7. To find the value of an expression






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






9. The bottom of a triangle






10. A comparison of two numbers by division






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






12. Consists of numbers and operations






13. A ratio whose denominator is 100






14. 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






15. An expression that contains a square root






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

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






19. equations that have the same solution






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






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






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






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






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






25. Finding all the solutions of an equation






26. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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