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. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






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






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






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

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






26. The ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. Favorable over Unfavorable.

30. Consists of numbers and operations






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