False, Zeros are only significant digits when there is a primary number such as 1 before the as in 3200, then two zeros are counted but if zeros are before as in 0.032 than the only digits counted are 3 and 2.
True
All nonzero numbers are significant (1, 3, and 7 are significant). Zeros in-between significant digits are significant (the first zero is significant). All zeros after the decimal point that aren't placeholders are significant (last zero is significant).
There are 6 significant figures in the number 1.40082. 1) All non-zero numbers are always significant. 2) All zeros between non-zero numbers are always significant. 3) All zeros which are to the right of the decimal point and at the end of the number are always significant. 4) All zeros which are to the left of a written decimal point and are in between a number are always significant.
the zero to the left of the decimal is not significant however all zeros after a decimal point are significant. there are 7 significant zeros
8 significant figures. The decimal makes the first 5 zeros significant while the two zeros after the decimal are significant because there is a significant figure earlier (2).
4 significant figures.Zeros are significant if they are between two non-zero numbers, or if they are "trailing" zeros in a number with a decimal point.Eg.0.000047 = 2 significant figures4.7000 = 5 significant figures
True
That is correct.
All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.
When they are between two non-zero digits or if there are after the decimal point. For example, the 0 is not significant in 1340 but it is significant in 1304 or 1340.0
Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.
It can be.
Yes. Trailing zeroes after a decimal are considered significant.
if between two other digits ex: 3009 or ending zeros when there is a decimal ex: 54.300
Leading zeros and trailing zeros in numbers that don't have a decimal point.
No. 0.0000123 has three significant digits.
Five. Zeros in between significant digits are significant and trailing zeros that are after the decimal are significant.
