Heres a trick a friend of mine taught me,
When trying to find the number of sig. figs. in a number, first check for a decimal point.
If there is not a decimal point (as in this case) then count each digit from right to left, starting at the first non-zero digit.
Example 1: 34,696 it would be 5 significant figures (6, 9, 6, 4, 3)
Example 2: 34,600 would be 3 sig figs (6, 4, 3), the two 0's in this number do not count as sig figs.

If there IS a decimal point, then count from left to right starting from the first non-zero digit.
Example 1: 0.0001 would be one significant figure (1)
Example 2: 1.02345 would be six sig figs, (1, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Now back to the actual question...
If you were to estimate 34,696 to 2 sig figs, then according the the rules of estimating, because the '6' in the hundreds place is greater or equal to 5, the next digit (in the thousands place) must have one added to it.
So 35,000 would be the proper way to round 34,696.

How to check: Count from left to right, the first non-zero digit is 5, so (5, 3).

Hope this helps! :D

Solve for x.<br> 5<br> 10<br> 12<br> 13

Answer: B)  4 & 1/6

Nice work on getting the correct answer.

============================================================

Explanation:

x is opposite the marked acute angle

5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle

So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5

Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.

Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x

x/5 = 10/12

12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply

12x = 50

x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12

x = (25*2)/(6*2)

x = 25/6

x = (24+1)/6

x = 24/6 + 1/6

x = 4 + 1/6

x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.

Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately

Does the graph represents a function
ohaa [14]
You could use a simple pencil test to figure it out.
Place a pencil vertically on the paper, and move it left to right or vise-versa 
When moving it make sure the pencil doesn't hit two points at once if it does it is not a function, but this is not the case

This is a function

First, let's determine how many standard deviations from the mean the value
(163+1) = 164 is:
 (164 - 125)/15 = 39/15 = 2.6 
 Now using a standard normal table, look up 2.6 to determine the percentage of points that would be that far from the mean. I find a value of 0.49534. Note that is is a half value. So the percentage that will be higher than that will be 0.5 - 0.49534= 0.00466 
 Now multiply by the number of points overall, getting
 0.00466 * 1000000 = 4660 
 So there will be approximately 5000 pixels brighter than 163 gray levels.
