Definition Scientific notation- is a compact way of writing numbers with absolute values that are very large or very small. Glencoe McGraw-Hill. Math connects cours 3. pages 130-131

Slide 15

all numbers are expressed as whole numbers between 1 and 9 multiplied by a whole number power of 10. If the absolute value of the original number was between 0 and 1, the exponent is negative. Otherwise, the exponent is positive. Ex. 125 = 1.25 x 10 2 0.00004567 = 4.567 x 10 -5

Closure / Summary Explain why 32.8 x 10 4 is not correctly written in scientific notation. What does a negative exponent tell you about writing the number in standard form.

Slide 24

Significant Figures are used to show the accuracy and precision of the instruments used to take the measurement.

Slide 25

0 1 0 0 1 1.5

Slide 27

0 1 1. 0.55 2. 0.70 3. 0.67 4. 0.65

Slide 28

To show how precise the instrument is: Read the measurement to one decimal place what the instrument is marked

Non-zero digits are always significant 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 are always significant Rules for Zeros: a) Leading Zeros never count as significant 0.00004560.0032 b) Captive zeros (zeros between non-zero digits) are always significant 10,0340.005008 c) Trailing Zeros are significant ONLY IF there is a decimal in the number. 234,000234,000.00.045600

Slide 44

You and a partner will practice your significant digits. Your job is to come up with a number containing both zeroes and non-zero digits. You will trade boards back and forth on my mark. The partner that gets the correct number of significant digits will get the point. The partner with the most points will win the round. We will do best of 9.

Slide 45

Count (from left to right) how many significant figures you need. Look at the next number to see if you need to round your last sig. fig. up or down. Round the following to 3 sig. figs 1. 1,344 2. 0.00056784 3. 24,500 4. 12,345 5. 2.45678 x 10 -3

Slide 46

Slide 47

We have two ways of categorizing sig. fig. calculations: A) Addition and Subtraction B) Multiplication, Division, other math

Slide 48

When we add and subtract we are only worried about the number of decimal places involved in the numbers present. We do not care about the number of actual significant digits. We will always pick the number that has the least decimal places.

Slide 49

A) 14.0 + 2.45 B) 12 + 7.2 C) 0.00123 + 1.005 D) 100 5.8 E) 2.5 1.25 F) 43.786 32.11

Slide 50

If we are multiplying, dividing, using exponents, trigonometry, calculus, etc we must use the least number of significant digits of the numbers in the set. For example...

Slide 51

A) 12 5.00F) 119 / 32 B) 8.45 4.3G) 756.2 / 29.8 C) 0.0125 7.532H) 0.976 / 0.0044 D) 5.6 11.7I ) 981 / 756.23 E) 34.1 0.55J) 43.2 / 12.45

Slide 52

Density the amount of matter present in a given volume of a substance, the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. D = mass Volume

Slide 53

Slide 54

Celsius Scale based on the freezing point (0 o C) and boiling point (100 o C) of water. Kelvin Scale based on absolute zero (the temperature at which all motion ceases). 1 degree Kelvin is equal to 1 degree Celsius. Fahrenheit Scale used in US and Great Britain. Degrees are smaller than a Celsius or Kelvin degree.

Slide 55

Slide 56

Kelvin/Celsius K = o C + 273 Fahrenheit/Celsius o F = 1.80( o C) + 32

Slide 57

Exact Numbers are counting numbers or defined numbers (such as 2.45 cm = 1 in) - never limit the number of significant figures in a calculation.
