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. When the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1






2. Ratios that have the same value.






3. Positive and Negative Whole Numbers and 0. Examples: .... -3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3.....(Does not include fractions or decimals)






4. Consists of numbers and operations






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






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






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






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






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






10. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






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