CLEP General Math: Number Sense - Patterns - Algebraic Thinking

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. Does not change the solution set. That is - if a = b - then dividing both sides of the equation by c produces the equivalent equation a/c = b/c - provided c = 0.






2. If its final digit is a 0.






3. Use parentheses - brackets - or curly braces to delimit the part of an expression you want evaluated first.






4. GThe mathematical study of space. The geometry of a space goes hand in hand with how one defines the shortest distance between two points in that space.






5. (a






6. 1. Parentheses (or any grouping symbol {braces} - [square brackets] - |absolute value|)

7. A graph in which every node is connected to every other node is called a complete graph.






8. Arise from the attempt to measure all quantities with a common unit of measure.






9. An instrument's _____ - the sound it produces - is a complex mixture of waves of different frequencies.






10. The system that Euclid used in The Elements






11. If we start with a number x and subtract a number a - then adding a to the result will return us to the original number x. In symbols - x - a + a = x. So -






12. Writing Mathematical equations - arrange your work one equation






13. The inverse of multiplication






14. A · 1 = 1 · a = a






15. Multiplication is equivalent to






16. This step is easily overlooked. For example - the problem might ask for Jane's age - but your equation's solution gives the age of Jane's sister Liz. Make sure you answer the original question asked in the problem. Your solution should be written in






17. Index p radicand






18. The distribution of averages of many trials is always normal - even if the distribution of each trial is not.






19. The study of shape from an external perspective.






20. An object possessing continuous symmetries can remain invariant while one symmetry is turned into another. A circle is an example of an object with continuous symmetries.






21. 4 more than a certain number is 12






22. To describe and extend a numerical pattern






23. In some ways - the opposite of a multitude is a magnitude - which is ___________. In other words - there are no well defined partitions.






24. The process of taking a complicated signal and breaking it into sine and cosine components.






25. At each level of the tree - break the current number into a product of two factors. The process is complete when all of the 'circled leaves' at the bottom of the tree are prime numbers. Arranging the factors in the 'circled leaves' in order. The fina






26. Trigonometric functions - such as sine and cosine - are useful for modeling sound waves - because they oscillate between values






27. Let a and b be whole numbers. Then a is _______________ by b if and only if the remainder is zero when a is divided by b. In this case - we say that 'b is a divisor of a.'






28. Does not change the solution set. That is - if a = b - then multiplying both sides of the equation by c produces the equivalent equation a






29. If its final digit is a 0 or 5.






30. The expression a^m means a multiplied by itself m times. The number a is called the base of the exponential expression and the number m is called the exponent. The exponent m tells us to repeat the base a as a factor m times.






31. A topological object that can be used to study the allowable states of a given system.






32. If a = b then






33. Used to display measurements. The measurement was taken is placed on the horizontal axis - and the height of each bar equals the amount during that year.






34. An equation is a numerical value that satisfies the equation. That is - when the variable in the equation is replaced by the solution - a true statement results.






35. When comparing two whole numbers a and b - only one of three possibilities is true: a < b or a = b or a > b.






36. If a and b are any whole numbers - then a






37. Let a - b - and c be any whole numbers. Then - a






38. Cannot be written as a ratio of natural numbers.






39. Two equations if they have the same solution set.






40. Negative






41. (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)






42. The identification of a 'one-to-one' correspondence--enables us to enumerate a set that may be difficult to count in terms of another set that is more easily counted.






43. Is a path that visits every node in a graph and ends where it began.






44. The surface of a standard 'donut shape'.






45. All integers are thus divided into three classes:
