What's the relationship between exponents & #s <1? | #s <1 has a + exponent. |
What's the relationship between exponents & #s >1? | #s >1 has a - exponent. |
How can 1.45*12^5 be expanded into the decimal #? | You move the decimal R 5x. 145,000 |
How can .000560 be written in scientific notation? | You move the decimal L 4x. 5.6*10^-4 |
What #s are always significant? | Non0 #s 0s between non0 #s |
What #s are never significant? | 0s at the beginning of a #. |
When are 0s significant? | 0s at the end of a @ are only significant if there's a decimal. |
How do you +/- significant #s? | Answer can have as many decimal places as the least precise # in the problem. |
How to */divide significant #s? | Answer can only have as many sigfigs as the least amount of sigfigs in the problem. |
Bar graphs are used for? | Comparing quick & easy data |
Pie graphs are used for? | Showing percentages |
Line graphs are used for? | Looking at changes over time |
What's accuracy? | Correctness |
What's precision? | Close togetherness |
What's dimensional analysis? | A mathematical way to show a conversion of #s & units. |
What's are the dimensional analysis steps? | Read the problem & circle the units & #s Draw T chart & write given info in upper left Drop units Check given equalities Write opposite equality Move #s to T chart Cancel units * #s at top & divide # @ bottom |
