Answer 1

Answer:      31 (a) 4           32 (a) 5

                        (b) 7                 (b) 3

                        (c) 5                 (c) 5

                        (d) 3                 (d) 2

Significant Figures (sf) Rules:

1) Trailing zeroes are considered significant ONLY If a decimal point is provided.

2) Zeroes between the decimal point and number are NOT significant unless they are between numbers.

3) All digits in scientific notation are counted (disregard the exponent).

31 (a) 508.0              trailing zero so use rule 1  -->  sf = 4

   (b) 820,400.0      trailing zero so use rule 1  -->  sf = 7

   (c) 1.0200 x 10⁵   scientific notation so use rule 3 --> sf = 5

    (d) 807,000         no trailing zeroes so use rule 1 --> sf = 3

32 (a) 0.049450     zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2 --> sf = 5

    (b) 0.000482     zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2 --> sf = 3

    (c) 3.1587 x 10 ⁻⁸  scientific notation so use rule 3 --> sf = 5

    (d) 0.0084          zero between decimal point & #, use rule 2 --> sf = 2
