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. Inequalities that have the same solution






2. A rate that has a denominator of 1






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






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






5. Number in front of a variable






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






7. Finding all the solutions of an equation






8. The x-value in a function






9. Is a number made of repeated factors






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






11. A ratio whose denominator is 100






12. Consists of numbers and operations






13. A method of writing very large or very small numbers by using powers of 10






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






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






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






17. equations that have the same solution






18. An equation that shows a relationship among two or more quantities






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






20. The point in the exact middle of a circle






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






22. The distance across a circle through its center (is also twice the radius)






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






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






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






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






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






28. A number written as the product of its prime factors






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






30. 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.






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






32. The distance around a circle.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. The total area of the 2-dimensional surfaces that make up a 3-dimensional object.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






50. The bottom of a triangle
