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 x-value in a function






2. 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.






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






4. 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






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






6. An expression that contains a square root






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






8. The bottom of a triangle






9. A






10. y = mx + b






11. equations that have the same solution






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






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






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






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






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






17. All possible arrangements of a collection of things - where the order is important. The number of ______________ of n distinct objects is n






18. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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






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






21. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






22. A number that has more than two factors






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






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






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






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






27. Number in front of a variable






28. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






29. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






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






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






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






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






35. A number that has a whole number for a square root ex: 9 - 16 - 121






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






37. The point in the exact middle of a circle






38. A letter used to represent one or more numbers

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






41. A rate that has a denominator of 1






42. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






44. A number that can not be written a/b






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






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






47. The y-value in a function






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






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






50. 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.
