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. A flat map of hyperbolic space.






2. If a whole number is not a prime number - then it is called a...






3. Trigonometric functions - such as sine and cosine - are useful for modeling sound waves - because they oscillate between values






4. Cantor called the cardinality of all the sets that can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the counting numbers - or 'Aleph Null.'






5. 1. Parentheses (or any grouping symbol {braces} - [square brackets] - |absolute value|)

6. (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)






7. Has no factors other than 1 and itself






8. 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.






9. If grouping symbols are nested






10. Is the shortest string that contains all possible permutations of a particular length from a given set.






11. Use parentheses - brackets - or curly braces to delimit the part of an expression you want evaluated first.






12. In this type of geometry the angles of a triangle add up to less than 180 degrees. In such a system - one has to replace the parallel postulate with a version that admits many parallel lines.






13. If a and b are any whole numbers - then a






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






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






16. The amount of displacement - as measured from the still surface line.






17. If the sum of its digits is divisible by 9 (ex: 3591 is divisible by 9 since 3 + 5 + 9 + 1 = 18 is divisible by 9).






18. The whole number zero is called the additive identity. If a is any whole number - then a + 0 = a.






19. (a






20. Perform all additions and subtractions in the order presented






21. When writing mathematical statements - follow the mantra:






22. Uses second derivatives to relate acceleration in space to acceleration in time.






23. Let a - b - and c represent whole numbers. Then - (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).






24. Means approximately equal.






25. The multitude concept presented numbers as collections of discrete units - rather like indivisible atoms.






26. Dimension is how mathematicians express the idea of degrees of freedom






27. If a = b then






28. 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






29. (a · b) · c = a · (b · c)






30. At each level of the tree - break the current number into a product of two factors. The process is complete when all of the 'circled leaves' at the bottom of the tree are prime numbers. Arranging the factors in the 'circled leaves' in order. The fina






31. Used to display measurements. The measurement was taken is placed on the horizontal axis - and the height of each bar equals the amount during that year.






32. Multiplication is equivalent to






33. 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.






34. The expression a/b means






35. A group is just a collection of objects (i.e. - elements in a set) that obey a few rules when combined or composed by an operation. In order for a set to be considered a group under a certain operation - each element must have an inverse - the set mu






36. A + b = b + a






37. Determines the likelihood of events that are not independent of one another.






38. If a represents any whole number - then a






39. If the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 (ex: 3591 is divisible by 3 since 3 + 5 + 9 + 1 = 18 is divisible by 3).






40. Every whole number can be uniquely factored as a product of primes. This result guarantees that if the prime factors are ordered from smallest to largest - everyone will get the same result when breaking a number into a product of prime factors.






41. If we start with a number x and multiply by a number a - then dividing the result by the number a returns us to the original number x. In symbols - a






42. A way to analyze sequences of events where the outcomes of prior events affect the probability of outcomes of subsequent events.






43. 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






44. Does not change the solution set. That is - if a = b - then dividing both sides of the equation by c produces the equivalent equation a/c = b/c - provided c = 0.






45. Collection of objects. list all the objects in the set and enclosing the list in curly braces.






46. If we start with a number x and subtract a number a - then adding a to the result will return us to the original number x. In symbols - x - a + a = x. So -






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

48. In the expression 3






49. Are the fundamental building blocks of arithmetic.






50. If we start with a number x and add a number a - then subtracting a from the result will return us to the original number x. x + a - a = x. so -
