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 sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






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






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






4. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






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






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






9. one of four sections into which the coordinate plane is divided






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






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






12. The sum of a number and zero is always that number.






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






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






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






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






17. To find the value of an expression






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