Q

4 rules for determining sigfigs

A
  1. All non zero digits in a measurement are significant
  2. Zeroes that come after the decimal and after a non zero digit are significant
  3. Leading zeroes aren’t significant
  4. Trailing zeroes with no decimals are assumed to be insignificant
17
Q

What’s the rule for adding and subtracting measurements

A

Your calculated value should have the same precision as your least precise measurement

18
Q

What’s the rule for Multiplying and dividing

A

Your calculated value should have the same # of sigfigs as the measurement with the least amount of sigfigs
