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. 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.






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






4. The bottom of a triangle






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






6. An expression that contains a square root






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






8. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






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






11. Finding all the solutions of an equation






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






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






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






15. Ratios that have the same value.






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






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






18. Is the number that is repeatedly multiplied in a power






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






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






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






22. The set of all the input (x-values) for a function






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






24. y = mx + b






25. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself






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






27. equations that have the same solution






28. The sum of the values in a data set divided by the number of values in the set






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






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






31. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






39. The product of any number and one is that number.






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






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






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






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






44. Inequalities that have the same solution






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






46. 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.






47. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






48. 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






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






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