Chapter 16, Problem 81AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Interpretation: The number of significant figures in a number and in the logarithm of that number should be compared.
Concept Introduction:
For writing significant figures, following rules should be followed:
1. Every non-zero digits are significant. For example, the number 2356 has 4 significant figures.
2. Any zero between two non-zero digits are significant. For example, the number 205 has 3 significant figures.
3. The trailing zeros after the decimal are significant. For example, 0.450 has 3 significant figures, 100 has 1 significant figure and 0.025 has 2 significant figures.
