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.

41. A segment from the center of the circle to a point on the circle






42. A rectangular sum of the area under a curve where the domain is divided into sub-intervals and the height of each rectangle is the function value at the midpoint of the sub-interval






43. The absolute value or magnitude of velocity






44. When testing critical values - if the first derivative changes from negative to zero to positive - then that critical value is a local minumum of the function. if the first derivative changes from positive to zero to negative - then that critical val
