Answer from: anastasiakonni1

For a: The answer is $2.3\times 10^1$

For b: The answer is $8.0\times 10^{-6}$

For c: The answer is 127.6

For d: The answer is $4.66\times 10^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures are defined as 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.

Rule applied for the addition and subtraction is:

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Rule applied for the multiplication and division is:

The number of significant digits is taken from the value which has least precise significant digits.

For the given options:

Option a: (2.7)(8.632)

The given problem is a multiplication one.

$\Rightarrow (2.7\times 8.632)=23.3$

Here, the least precise significant digits are 2. So, the answer is $2.3\times 10^1$

Option b: (3.600 x 10^-4) / 45

The given problem is a division one.

$\Rightarrow \frac{(3.600\times 10^{-4})}{45}=0.08\times 10^{-4}$

Here, the least precise significant digits are 2. So, the answer is $8.0\times 10^{-6}$

Option c: 2.365 + 125.2

The given problem is an addition one.

$\Rightarrow (2.365+125.2)=127.565$

Here, the least precise significant digits after decimal is 1. So, the answer is 127.6

Option d: (4.753 x 10^4) - (9 x 10^2)

The given problem is a subtraction one.

$\Rightarrow (4.753\times 10^4)-(9\times 10^2)=(4.753\times 10^4)-(0.09\times 10^4)=4.663\times 10^4$

Here, the least precise significant digits after decimal are 2. So, the answer is $4.66\times 10^4$

Answer from: Quest

X^2 - 4x +(4/2^2) + y^2 + 8y + (8/2^2) = -4 + (4/2^2) + (8/2^2)(x + 2)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = -4 + 4 + 16your center is (-2, -4) and the radius is the sqrt of -4 + 4 + 16 which is 4
