The Learning Goal for this assignment is:<br />
Determine appropriate and consistent standards of measurements for the data to be<br />
collected in a survey or experiment.<br />
Notes Section<br />
When the exponent for a figure is 0, the number just stays the same.<br />
-When you make the base number smaller, the exponent must become bigger<br />
-When you make the number bigger, the exponent must become smaller.<br />
For examples:<br />
234.6 ---> 2.346 x 10 2<br />
and<br />
0.0067 ---> 6.7 x 10 -3<br />
Remember!! Sig Figs are always in the form of numbers between 1-9.9 x 10^#<br />
in order to add/subtract sig figs, the expponents of botth figures must be the same.<br />
So for example:<br />
3.5 x 10^6 + 5.8 x 10^5 = ?<br />
You would just need to convert the 1st figure into 35 x 10^5<br />
Once you add the two numbers, you can convert the sum back into scientific notation.<br />
In this case, 40.8 would become 4.08 x 10^6<br />
Similarly, to multiply sig figs, you would multiply the numbers and add the exponents<br />
sperately to find the answer<br />
Fo ex: 3.0 x 10^4 X 4.0 x 10^4 would equal 12 x 10^8<br />
For divison: You would follow the same procedure as above except you would divide and<br />
subtract instead of multiply and add.<br />
