SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Uses exponential notation & places a decimal after
the 1st sig fig. 10n means “move decimal n places to right” 10-n means “move decimal n places to left”PRACTICE: (A) 5640 (B) 0.000150
5.64 X 10? = 5.64 X 103
1.50 X 10? = 1.50 X 10-4

COUNTING SIGFIGS IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
EXPONENTIAL TERM – NO SIG FIGS (IT ONLY MOVES THE DECIMAL PLACE) NUMBER-CONTAINS ONLY SIF FIGS EX. 7.809 X 104 4 SIG FIGS 3.40 X 10-6 3 SIG FIGS

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Rules for recognizing SigFigs: When a number has a decimal: Read Left to Right until you Reach the first nonzero number Then you begin counting SigFigs Until you run out of digits (including any
zeros along the way) Example: 0.003210 g = _______ SigFigs?

Counted Quantites and Constants have absolute values & we don’t count SigFigs Either you counted the number of items right, or you
didn’t!Example:14 bananas

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Why are significant figures important when taking data in the laboratory?
When you measure something, you never get 100% accuracy on its measurement, so you need a way to show just how accurate it is.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Why are significant figures NOT important when solving problems in your math class?
In math, we assume that all numbers are either 100% accurate, or that they are constants, and thus have no uncertainty or error involved in their creation.

SIGNFICANT FIGURES AND MATH
We will be required to do math with our SigFigs
Two rule sets cover this: Addition/SubtractionAnd Multiplication/Division

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SIG FIG RULES
1. line up the decimals2. draw a line to the right of the number with
the least precision (shortest column) 3. answer can’t go past the line4. use the 1st digit past the line to determine
where to round offExample:32.00 m + 48.1 m + 182.213 m = ????
![Page 14: SCIENTIFIC NOTATION Uses exponential notation & places a decimal after the 1 st sig fig. 10 n means “move decimal n places to right” 10 -n means](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082400/56649d745503460f94a54744/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Answer can have no more SigFigs than the factor with the fewest number of SigFigs. This means that constants and
quantities do not affect sigfigs in the answer!
