  • I dont understand, how do you round up 3 Sigfics.? I'm completely lost...

  • slow down when you talk...... good job tho

  • 52.0 x 10 is in scientific notation

    5.20 x 10^2 is in normalized scientific notation

  • @MyTutorBuddy a more clarifying question would have been for 4.0021-0.400 --> 1 sig fig (not 3 sig figs)

  • WOW! you made it much easier cuz im having a test on ids on da 27th of sep n gud thing i found ur vid, ur better dan ma teacher

  • very nice! looking foward for more videos

  • @euch27

    That's right. When they ask you to do addition or subtraction with sig figs, look at the decimal places (unless they say to round to so many sig figs. That's the only time you need to use them with addition/subtraction).

  • Nicely done, sir. Perhaps I could learn a thing or two from watching more of your videos.

  • Your frickin awesome

  • i luv u. u made life easier thanxz
