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 relation that assigns exactly one output value for each input value






2. A number that has more than two factors






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






4. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






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






7. Ratios that have the same value.






8. A set of three positive integers that work in the pythagorean theorem






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






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






11. In a sum - you can add terms in any order - a + b = b + a






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






13. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






14. A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units






15. Number in front of a variable






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






17. skip-counting by any given number Ex: 4 - 8 - 12 - 16...






18. The y-value in a function






19. The steepness of a line on a graph - rise over run






20. The point in the exact middle of a circle






21. A(b + c) = ab + ac - an + ac = a(b+ c)






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






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






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. y = mx + b






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

29. A rate that has a denominator of 1






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






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






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






33. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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






35. The number that is on the other side of 0 and is exactly the same distance away from 0






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






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

41. The bottom of a triangle






42. An expression that contains a square root






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






44. 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.






45. The sum of a number and zero is always that number.






46. A decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely
