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 rate that has a denominator of 1






2. equations that have the same solution






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






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






5. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






6. A term that has no variable and does not change






7. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






8. A number that can not be written a/b






9. A single term made up of numbers and variables






10. The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.






11. 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.






12. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






13. 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






14. Consists of numbers and operations

16. The distance around a circle.






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






18. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






20. What should occur in a probability experiment...an experiment is not actually done






21. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






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






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






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






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






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






27. The bottom of a triangle






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

31. Is the difference of the greatest value and the least value in a set of data.






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






33. y = mx + b






34. A number that has a whole number for a square root ex: 9 - 16 - 121

37. A






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






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






40. To find the value of an expression






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






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






43. The order in which operations in an expression to be evaluated are carried out. 1. parentheses 2. exponets 3. multiplication and divison 4. addition and subtraction






44. The smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common






45. 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.
