RD SIGNIFICANT DIGITS DETERMINE THE PRECISION OF THE 00000100
|
|
PRODUCT OF TWO MEASURES. 00000200
|
|
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SIGNIFICANT DIGITS, 00000300
|
|
TYPE A LEFT-POINTING ARROW. 00000400
|
|
LA DUMMY 00000500
|
|
QU THERE ARE FIVE BASIC RULES IN DETERMINING THE NUMBER 00000600
|
|
OF SIGNIFICANT DIGITS IN A GIVEN MEASURE. FOUR OF 00000700
|
|
THEM ARE CONCERNED WITH ZEROES. TWO OF THESE RULES 00000800
|
|
YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS COURSE. 00000900
|
|
THE FIRST THING TO LEARN IS THAT ALL NON-ZERO DIGITS 00001000
|
|
ARE SIGNIFICANT. FOR INSTANCE, THE NUMBER 625 00001100
|
|
HAS 3 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS. 00001200
|
|
HOW MANY SIGNIFICANT DIGITS DOES THE NUMBER 5289 HAVE. 00001300
|
|
CA 4 00001400
|
|
CB FOUR 00001500
|
|
TY VERY GOOD 00001600
|
|
WA 5289 00001700
|
|
TY WE WANT THE NUMBER OF DIGITS, NOT THE NUMBER ITSELF. 00001800
|
|
UN NO, THAT IS NOT RIGHT. TRY AGAIN. 00001900
|
|
UN IF YOU GIVE UP, TYPE HELP. 00002000
|
|
QU HOW MANY SIGNIFICANT DIGITS DOES 524.6 HAVE. 00002100
|
|
CA 4 00002200
|
|
CB FOUR 00002300
|
|
TY VERY GOOD. ALL NON-ZERO DIGITS ARE COUNTED IN A 00002400
|
|
DECIMAL NUMBER TOO. 00002500
|
|
WA 3 00002600
|
|
WB 2 00002700
|
|
WB 1 00002800
|
|
TY NO. YOU SHOULD COUNT EVERY NON-ZERO DIGIT. GUESS AGAIN. 00002900
|
|
UN THERE ARE ONLY FOUR DIGITS IN THE NUMBER AND ALL ARE 00003000
|
|
NON-ZERO. TRY AGAIN. 00003100
|
|
QU I THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA. NOW LET US TALK 00003200
|
|
ABOUT ZEROES. 00003300
|
|
ZEROES ARE ALWAYS SIGNIFICANT IF: 00003400
|
|
THEY ARE BETWEEN TWO NON-ZERO DIGITS. FOR EXAMPLE, 00003500
|
|
206 HAS 3 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS, AND 3005 HAS FOUR 00003600
|
|
SIGNIFICANT DIGITS. 00003700
|
|
THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF DECIMALS. THE DECIMAL NUMBER 00003800
|
|
60.03 HAS 4 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS. 00003900
|
|
00004000
|
|
THE ZEROES APPEAR AT THE END OF A DECIMAL NUMBER. 00004100
|
|
6.0 IMPLIES THAT THE MEASUREMENT WAS TAKEN TO THE 00004200
|
|
NEAREST TENTH, SO THE DIGIT IN TENTHS PLACE IS CON- 00004300
|
|
SIDERED A SIGNIFICANT DIGIT. THEREFORE, 6.0 HAS 00004400
|
|
2 SIGNIFICANT DIGITS. 00004500
|
|
HOW MANY SIGNIFICANT DIGITS ARE THERE IN THE MEASURE 00004600
|
|
604. 00004700
|
|

TY VERY GOOD. 00005000
|
|
WA 2 00005100
|
|
TY YOU FORGOT TO COUNT THE ZERO. GUESS AGAIN. 00005200
|
|
UN GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY. 00005300
|
|
QU HOW MANY SIGNIFICANT DIGITS DOES THE MEASURE 6,042.00 00005400
|
|
HAVE. 00005500
|
|
CA 6 00005600
|
|
TY EXCELLENT. THAT IS ENOUGH FOR NOW. YOU WERE VERY 00005700
|
|
SWEET TO TAKE THE COURSE. GOODBYE. 00005800
|
|
WA 3 00005900
|
|
TY YOU MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE ZEROES. TRY AGAIN. 00006000
|
|
WA 4 00006100
|
|
TY REMEMBER. ZEROES AT THE END OF DECIMAL NUMBERS ARE 00006200
|
|
SIGNIFICANT. 00006300
|
|
WA 5 00006400
|
|
TY YOU FORGOT TO COUNT THE ZERO BETWEEN THE 6 AND THE 4. 00006500
|
|
GUESS AGAIN. 00006600
|
|
UN YOU HAVE ONE MORE TRY. 00006700
|
|
UN YOU WILL BE TAKEN BACK FOR A REVIEW 00006800
