Calculator Scientific Function
Scientific Notation withSig Figs Multiplication and Division EE xy or 10x on the calculator is the same as *10power Whenyou multiply or divide 2 or more numbers, the result MUST have a specific number ofSig Figs. Whichever number has the leastSig Figs, the result will have the same number ofSig Figs as it.
Example 1 Find the solution in terms of Scientific Notation with correct Sig Figs: 3.42 X 105 4.67 X 109 3.42E5 * 4.67E9 105x 109=105+9=1014 1.597 X 1015 BUT!! Sig Figs FINAL ANS: 1.60 X 1015 2.93 X 10-2 8.3 X 105 FINAL ANS:2.4 X 104
Multiplication Example Calculate the followingexpressions with the correct number of Sig Figs: 1) 12.3x20 12.3 has 3Sig Figs 20 has 1Sig Fig ORIGINAL ANS: 246 FINAL ANS: 200 2) 12.3x20.0 12.3 has 3Sig Figs 20.0 has 3Sig Figs ORIGINAL ANS: 246 FINAL ANS: 246 1Sig Fig 3 Sig Figs
