Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Rounding each number to 4 significant figures and expressing in standard notation :
(a) 102.53070,
Since the number starts with a non-zero, the 4 digits are counted from the left ;
102.53070 = 102.5 (4 significant figures) = 1.025 * 10^2
(b) 656.980,
Since the number starts with a non-zero, the 4 digits are counted from the left ; the value after the 4th significant value is greater than 5, it is rounded to 1 and added to the significant figure.
656.980 = 657.0 (4 significant figures) = 6.57 * 10^2
(c) 0.008543210,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
0.008543210 = 0.008543 (4 significant figures) = 8.543 * 10^-3
(d) 0.000257870,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
0.000257870 = 0.0002579 (4 significant figures) = 2.579 * 10^-4
(e) -0.0357202,
Since number starts at 0 ; the first significant figure is the first non - zero digit ;
-0.0357202 = - 0.03572 (4 significant figures) = - 3.572* 10^-2
