SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
All non-zero digits are significant.
Ex. numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9
Zeros to the right of a non-zero digits in unexpressed decimal point are not
significant
Ex. 200 - 1
Zeros at the right of a non-zero digit in an express decimal point are significant.
Ex. 200.00 = 5
Zeros at left of a non-zero digit but to the right of a decimal point are not
significant.
Ex. 0.0000001 – 1
Page 2 of 26
Rounding Off
When the number to be rounded off is less than 5 change that number to zero “0”
to retain the preceding number.
Ex. 12.34 – 12
When the number to be rounded off is greater than or equivalent to 5 change that
number to zero “0” and add one to the preceding number.
Ex. 98.76 – 99
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
It simplifies the writing, reading and computation of very large and small number
thereby decreasing the risk of errors.
Exponential
Uses the power of ten
Writing as: N=ax 10 b
Where:
N = any given number
a = number having single non-zero digit to the left of a decimal point and
two decimal places.

Operational Definitions = Definitions that gives of procedure of measuring the quantity.
1. Algebraic Methods
Solving an unknown of a given operation
Trigonometric functions and law
Analytical method – interprets through graphs
International System of Units = the modernized version of the metric system which
includes the base quantities and derived quantities
Meter (m) = the SI unit for length, 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the North Pole to
the Equator along the meridian running through Paris
Kilogram (kg) = The SI unit of mass, specific volume of water but is now referenced to a
specific material standard The mass of a cylinder of a platinum, iridium, alloy, kept at the
international Bureau of Weights and Measurements in Paris, France
Second (s) = the SI unit of time, time required for cesium 133/133 CS to undergo
9192631770 vibration
MKS System = meter-kilogram-second
Page 4 of 26
Dimensional Analysis = a procedure by which the dimensional consistency of any
equation may be checked
Measured Number = obtained from measurement processes and so generally have some
degree of uncertainty or error
Important Equations:
Density
ρ = m/V
Where:ρ = density
m = mass
V = volume
