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 relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






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






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






4. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






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






6. one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2






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






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






9. A ratio whose denominator is 100






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






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






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






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






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






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






16. Ratios that have the same value.






17. The bottom of a triangle






18. A comparison of two numbers by division






19. Finding all the solutions of an equation






20. 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.






21. A number that has more than two factors






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






23. Number in front of a variable






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






25. To find the value of an expression






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






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






28. A






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






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






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






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






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






34. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






36. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






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






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






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






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






42. 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.






43. The y-value in a function






44. An expression that contains a square root






45. 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






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






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






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






49. 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






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