Question

Zeros that follow non-zero numbers and are also to the right of a decimal point are

Answer 1

These are called "captured zeros". Example: 1020304 All zeros in this number are captured between two nonzero numbers and are all significant. This number has 7 significant figures. Rule 3: Zeros to the right of a non zero digit are only significant if they are followed by a decimal point that you can see. (i copy pasted)

Answer 2

Answer: significant

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.
