Chapter 1.8, Problem 1.10P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To scientific notation should be converted given the statement of values.

Concept Introduction:

Significant figures: The term significant figures refer to the number of important single digits in the co-efficient of an expression in scientific notation (for example 0 to 9 inclusive). The number of significant figures in an expression indicates the confidence or precision with which a scientist or engineer states a quantity.

Scientific notation: This method to expressing numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplexed by a power of 10 it is called scientific notation. For example $150,000,000$ as $1.5\times {10}^8$ indicates the two significant figures, whereas writing it as $1.500\times {10}^8$ indicates four significant figures.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Convert the given four different values to scientific notation.
