CLEP General Math: Number Sense - Patterns - Algebraic Thinking

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. Two equations if they have the same solution set.






2. Is a path that visits every node in a graph and ends where it began.






3. This method can create a flat map from a curved surface while preserving all angles in any features present.






4. The expression a/b means






5. Means approximately equal.






6. The cardinality of sets that cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with the counting numbers - such as the set of real numbers - is referred to as c. The designations A_0 and c are known as 'transfinite' cardinalities.






7. Our standard notions of Pythagorean distance and angle via the inner product extend quite nicely from three-space.






8. The distribution of averages of many trials is always normal - even if the distribution of each trial is not.






9. If on a surface there is no meaningful way to tell an object's orientation (left or right handedness) - the surface is said to be non-orientable.






10. This result says that the symmetries of geometric objects can be expressed as groups of permutations.

11. A · b = b · a






12. Writing Mathematical equations - arrange your work one equation






13. The process of taking a complicated signal and breaking it into sine and cosine components.






14. The inverse of multiplication






15. Reveals why we tend to find structure in seemingly random sets. Ramsey numbers indicate how big a set must be to guarantee the existence of certain minimal structures.






16. A way to measure how far away a given individual result is from the average result.






17. The state of appearing unchanged.






18. Has no factors other than 1 and itself






19. Let a and b represent two whole numbers. Then - a + b = b + a.






20. 1. Find the prime factorizations of each number. To find the prime factorization one method is a factor tree where you begin with any two factors and proceed by dividing the numbers until all the ends are prime factors. 2. Star factors which are shar






21. An equation is a numerical value that satisfies the equation. That is - when the variable in the equation is replaced by the solution - a true statement results.






22. Let a and b be whole numbers. Then a is _______________ by b if and only if the remainder is zero when a is divided by b. In this case - we say that 'b is a divisor of a.'






23. Negative






24. If its final digit is a 0 or 5.






25. You must always solve the equation set up in the previous step.






26. If its final digit is a 0.






27. Positive integers are






28. Perform all additions and subtractions in the order presented






29. TA model of a sequence of random events. Each marble that passes through the system represents a trial consisting of as many random events as there are rows in the system.






30. If a = b then a + c = b + c If a = b then a - c = b - c If a = b then a






31. This important result says that every natural number greater than one can be expressed as a product of primes in exactly one way.






32. An algebraic 'sentence' containing an unknown quantity.






33. Mathematical statement that equates two mathematical expressions.






34. Topological objects are categorized by their _______ (number of holes). The genus of a surface is a feature of its global topology.






35. When comparing two whole numbers a and b - only one of three possibilities is true: a < b or a = b or a > b.






36. GThe mathematical study of space. The geometry of a space goes hand in hand with how one defines the shortest distance between two points in that space.






37. Solving Equations






38. A flat map of hyperbolic space.






39. The identification of a 'one-to-one' correspondence--enables us to enumerate a set that may be difficult to count in terms of another set that is more easily counted.






40. We can think of the space between primes as 'prime deserts -' strings of consecutive numbers - none of which are prime.






41. Is the length around an object. Used to calculate such things as fencing around a yard - trimming a piece of material - and the amount of baseboard needed for a room.It is not necessary to have a formula since it is always just calculated by adding t






42. The surface of a standard 'donut shape'.






43. Codifies the 'average behavior' of a random event and is a key concept in the application of probability.






44. 1. Any two points can be joined by a straight line. 2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. 3. Given any straight line segment - a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center. 4. A

45. This ubiquitous result describes the outcomes of many trials of events from a wide array of contexts. It says that most results cluster around the average with few results far above or far below average.






46. When writing mathematical statements - follow the mantra:






47. Says that when a random process - such as dropping marbles through a Galton board - is repeated many times - the frequencies of the observed outcomes get increasingly closer to the theoretical probabilities.






48. A point in one dimension requires only one number to define it. The number line is a good example of a one-dimensional space.






49. Also known as gluing diagrams - are a convenient way to examine intrinsic topology.






50. Assuming that the air is of uniform density and pressure to begin with - a region of high pressure will be balanced by a region of low pressure - called rarefaction - immediately following the compression
