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 output (y-values) for a function






2. A comparison of two numbers by division






3. The total area of the 2-dimensional surfaces that make up a 3-dimensional object.






4. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






5. Inequalities that have the same solution






6. Is the set of all points that are an equal distance from a point called the center






7. skip-counting by any given number Ex: 4 - 8 - 12 - 16...






8. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon






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






10. To get a variable alone on one side of an equation or inequality in order to solve the equation or inequality






11. The ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. Favorable over Unfavorable.






12. The perpendicular (90 degrees) distance from the base of a triangle to the opposite vertex






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






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






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






16. The distance around a circle.






17. An equation that states that two ratios are equal - Ex: 1/2 = x/10






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






19. An expression that contains a square root






20. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






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






23. The point in the exact middle of a circle






24. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






25. A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10






26. A mathematical sentence with an equal sign that shows that two expressions are equivalent

28. A single term made up of numbers and variables






29. Number in front of a variable






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

34. Is the middle value in a data set where the numbers are ordered least to greatest






35. A letter used to represent one or more numbers

37. The order of the factors does not change the product a x b = b x a






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






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

41. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






42. The point where a graph crosses the y-axis






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






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






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