Question
Chapter 1, Problem 58RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The numbers that have a finite number of significant figures and exact number are to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The digits that carry a meaning contributing to its measurement, which are denoted in scientific notation, are called significant figures.
The rule applied for calculating the number of significant digits is different for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction.
The digits or numbers that carry a certain and definite measurements are called exact numbers.
