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






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






3. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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

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






12. The distance around a circle.






13. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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

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






37. Finding all the solutions of an equation
