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. An expression that contains a square root






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






3. The distance across a circle through its center (is also twice the radius)






4. Terms that have identical variable parts raised to the same power






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

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






13. A






14. 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






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






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






17. y = mx + b






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

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






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






26. The distance a number is from 0 on the number line - value of n is written l n l






27. special polyhedron with faces that are all squares






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






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






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






31. probability based on what happens when an experiment is actually done






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