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. operations that undo each other - such as addition and subtraction






2. Consists of numbers and operations






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






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






5. The point where a graph crosses the y-axis






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






7. 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.






8. A






9. A number that has more than two factors






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






11. Number in front of a variable






12. The x-value in a function






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






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






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






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






17. To find the value of an expression






18. An expression that contains a square root






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






20. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






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






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






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






24. A single term made up of numbers and variables






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






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






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






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






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






30. The distance around a circle.






31. A rate that has a denominator of 1






32. A ratio whose denominator is 100






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






34. Finding all the solutions of an equation






35. The number of square units needed to cover a flat surface






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






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






38. Is the amount paid for borrowing or lending money






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






40. A whole number that has exactly two factors - 1 and itself.






41. y = mx + b






42. 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.






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






44. The set of all the output (y-values) for a function






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






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






47. A comparison of two numbers by division






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






49. A letter used to represent one or more numbers






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