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






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






3. Is a number made of repeated factors






4. 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.






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






6. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






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






9. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






12. A relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






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






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






15. 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






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






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






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






23. In an expression are separated by addition and subtraction signs






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






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






26. 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






27. A single term made up of numbers and variables

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






31. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






33. Fractions that have the same value and the same simplest form






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






35. Consists of numbers and operations

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






43. The x-value in a function






44. A number that has more than two factors






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






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