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






2. The x-value in a function






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






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






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






6. 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.






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






8. The y-value in a function






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






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






11. equations that have the same solution






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






21. A ratio whose denominator is 100






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






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






24. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






26. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






29. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






30. An expression that contains a square root






31. The distance around a circle.






32. A rate that has a denominator of 1






33. A number that has more than two factors






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






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






36. 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






37. Ratios that have the same value.






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






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






40. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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






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






43. 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.






44. A






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






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






47. Number in front of a variable






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






49. An event who's outcome does depend on the outcome of a previous event






50. The steepness of a line on a graph - rise over run
