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. This method can create a flat map from a curved surface while preserving all angles in any features present.






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






3. Add and subtract






4. 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.






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






6. 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






7. In a mathematical sense - it is a transformation that leaves an object invariant. Symmetry is perhaps most familiar as an artistic or aesthetic concept. Designs are said to be symmetric if they exhibit specific kinds of balance - repetition - and/or






8. If a = b then






9. Whether or not we hear waves as sound has everything to do with their _____________ - or how many times every second the molecules switch from compression to rarefaction and back to compression again - and their intensity - or how much the air is com






10. The cardinality of sets that cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the counting numbers - such as the set of real numbers - is referred to as c. The designations A_0 and c are known as 'transfinite' cardinalities.






11. A + 0 = 0 + a = a






12. 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.






13. If a - b - and c are any whole numbers - then a






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






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






16. 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.






17. Instruments produce notes that have a fundamental frequency in combination with multiples of that frequency known as partials or overtones






18. Rules for Rounding - To round a number to a particular place - follow these steps:






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






20. A '___________' infinite set is one that can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the set of natural numbers.






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






22. 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.






23. Index p radicand






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






25. You must always solve the equation set up in the previous step.






26. Writing Mathematical equations - arrange your work one equation






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






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






29. 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.






30. It is important to note that this step does not imply that you should simply check your solution in your equation. After all - it's possible that your equation incorrectly models the problem's situation - so you could have a valid solution to an inco






31. In this type of geometry the angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees. In such a system - one has to replace the parallel postulate with a version that admits many parallel lines.






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






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






34. Perform all additions and subtractions in the order presented






35. Also known as 'clock math -' incorporates 'wrap around' effects by having some number other than zero play the role of zero in addition - subtraction - multiplication - and division.






36. If its final digit is a 0.






37. Means approximately equal.






38. The four-dimensional analog of the cube - square - and line segment. A hypercube is formed by taking a 3-D cube - pushing a copy of it into the fourth dimension - and connecting it with cubes. Envisioning this object in lower dimensions requires that






39. Also known as gluing diagrams - are a convenient way to examine intrinsic topology.






40. 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 -






41. Let a and b represent two whole numbers. Then - a + b = b + a.






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






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






44. The multitude concept presented numbers as collections of discrete units - rather like indivisible atoms.






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






46. A point in one dimension requires only one number to define it. The number line is a good example of a one-dimensional space.






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






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






49. The state of appearing unchanged.






50. A number is divisible by 2
