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






2. A + 0 = 0 + a = a






3. 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.






4. Negative






5. A · b = b · a






6. If the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 (ex: 3591 is divisible by 3 since 3 + 5 + 9 + 1 = 18 is divisible by 3).






7. Breaks a complicated signal into a combination of simple sine waves. Fourier synthesis does the opposite - constructing a complicated signal from simple sine waves.






8. Is a symbol (usually a letter) that stands for a value that may vary.






9. This result relates conserved physical quantities - like conservation of energy - to continuous symmetries of spacetime.

10. 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.






11. This result says that the symmetries of geometric objects can be expressed as groups of permutations.

12. 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 -






13. In any ratio of two whole numbers - expressed as a fraction - we can interpret the first (top) number to be the 'counter -' or numerator






14. Adding the same quantity to both sides of an equation - if a = b - then adding c to both sides of the equation produces the equivalent equation a + c = b + c.






15. Original Balance minus River Tam's Withdrawal is Current Balance






16. The whole number zero is called the additive identity. If a is any whole number - then a + 0 = a.






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






18. 1. Find the prime factorizations of each number.






19. Positive integers are






20. Some numbers make geometric shapes when arranged as a collection of dots - for example - 16 makes a square - and 10 makes a triangle.






21. 1. Find the prime factorizations of each number. To find the prime factorization one method is a factor tree where you begin with any two factors and proceed by dividing the numbers until all the ends are prime factors. 2. Star factors which are shar






22. Codifies the 'average behavior' of a random event and is a key concept in the application of probability.






23. Uses second derivatives to relate acceleration in space to acceleration in time.






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






25. TA model of a sequence of random events. Each marble that passes through the system represents a trial consisting of as many random events as there are rows in the system.






26. A way to measure how far away a given individual result is from the average result.






27. Determines the likelihood of events that are not independent of one another.






28. Topological objects are categorized by their _______ (number of holes). The genus of a surface is a feature of its global topology.






29. This model is at the forefront of probability research. Mathematicians use it to model traffic patterns in an attempt to understand flow rates and gridlock - among other things.






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






31. The amount of displacement - as measured from the still surface line.






32. A + b = b + a






33. Aka The Osculating Circle - a way to measure the curvature of a line.






34. A factor tree is a way to visualize a number's






35. The study of shape from an external perspective.






36. Our standard notions of Pythagorean distance and angle via the inner product extend quite nicely from three-space.






37. The study of shape from the perspective of being on the surface of the shape.






38. Originally known as analysis situs






39. Perform all additions and subtractions in the order presented






40. A






41. Requirements for Word Problem Solutions.






42. Points in two-dimensional space require two numbers to specify them completely. The Cartesian plane is a good way to envision two-dimensional space.






43. Are the fundamental building blocks of arithmetic.






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






45. W = {0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - . . .} is called






46. This ubiquitous result describes the outcomes of many trials of events from a wide array of contexts. It says that most results cluster around the average with few results far above or far below average.






47. If a whole number is not a prime number - then it is called a...






48. In this type of geometry the angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees. In such a system - one has to replace the parallel postulate with a version that admits no parallel lines as well as modify Euclid's first two postulates.






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