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. A decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely






2. When the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1






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






4. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0.






5. An event who's outcome does depend on the outcome of a previous event






6. A line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle (is also half the diameter)






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






8. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






9. The amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object






10. A rate that has a denominator of 1






11. equations that have the same solution






12. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






13. A way to figure out the total number of ways different events can occur. If there are a ways for one activity to occur - and b ways for a second activity to occur - then there are a * b ways for both to occur.






14. To find the value of an expression






15. Apr - the percent of the principal you pay or earn a year






16. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






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






20. A model of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.






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






22. A number that has more than two factors






23. An expression that contains a square root






24. The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.






25. The point where a graph crosses the x-axis






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






27. An event that is not affected by another event.






28. Changing the grouping of factors will not change the product - (ab)c = a(bc)






29. Changing the grouping of terms will not change the sum - (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)






30. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






31. y = mx + b






32. one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2






33. An expression constructed from a set of terms by multiplying each term by a constant and adding the results.






34. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






35. A diagram used to show the total number of possible outcomes in an experiment






36. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






37. Number of favorable outcomes divided by total number of possible outcomes






38. A plane that is divided into four regions by a horizontal line called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis - aka 'the Cartesian plane' after Ren






39. Is the value in a data set that occurs most often. If all values occur the same amount of times there is no mode for that set.






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






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