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 sum of the values in a data set divided by the number of values in the set






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






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






4. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






6. y = mx + b






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. 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.






14. The amount of 3-dimensional space occupied by an object






15. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






16. 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

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






19. Number in front of a variable






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






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






30. The x-value in a function






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

40. A number that has more than two factors






41. A statement that compares two quantities using < - > - = -= - or ?






42. one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2






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






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