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.

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






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






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






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

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






12. A






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






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. Finding all the solutions of an equation






16. Ratios that have the same value.






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