Significant digits
Digits you record when you measure something
Rules for determining Significant digits (1)
- all non-zeros #s are significant
Rules for determining Significant digits (2)
All zeros that are located between 2 non-zeros are significant
Rules for determining Significant digits (3)
Zeros that are located to the left of a value are not significant
Rules for determining Significant digits (4)
Zeros to the right of a non-zero that is a decimal are significant
Rules for determining Significant digits (5)
zeros that are located to the right of a value that is not a decimal are not significant digits
Calculations with significant Digits
Multiplying and dividing
-The value with the fewest number of significant digits, going into the calculations determines the number of significant digits
Adding & subtracting
-The value with he fewest number of decimal places, going into the calculation, determines the number of places that you should repeat in the answer
