The real question is why are you guys learning about sig figs in college...

[@inhabitantofearth]

If you're not a teacher, you'd make an excellent one. Why do i never get teachers that can explain things clearly and simple like this?

[@stmiller001]

propbally becuz there aint one teacher that will go slow and take time for you thats where youtube comes in handy lol

I have never loved math, but if you taught it to me, it just makes total sense and is not so imposing and / or overwhelming to me. Thanks for having this channel.

[@tdewitt451]

@yeedust watch my video on "scientific notation: multiplication and division." learn how to do that. then come back to this video and use significant figures in your calculation. your problem is no different from the ones i talk about in this lesson. use the significant figures rules to round.

[@tdewitt451]

you want there to be the same number of sig figs in both numbers because you're thinking about the rules for multiplication and division. but the rules are very different for addition and subtraction. in this case, you don't care about how many sig figs in the starting numbers, only where the decimal place is. if this confuses you, you should watch my video called "add and subtract with significant figures (1.6)"

[@HuntingtonTranStudentEHS]

This video helped phenomenally more than the one my AP chem teacher gave us to watch. within 15 seconds of watching, my main question had been answered, instead of waiting fifteen minutes for the yapper in the other video to get to the four points that didn't help with the assignment at all. Thank you for making this!

[@tdewitt451]

i talk about this in "scientific notation and significant zeros (1.8)". the point is to show that those last two zeros are significant figures. but it's more complicated--check out the video!

[@bookgirl_17]

His comment section in all of his videos are like the MOST positive comment section in the literal history of KZbin

[@tdewitt451]

no, the way i do it in the video is right. if this is confusing for you, watch my video called "add and subtract with significant figures," and message me if you still have questions.

[@tdewitt451]

@bennemann yes, that is *exactly* what you do.

[@jurnicasmith2887]

Dude you have no clue. I had a Chemistry test I had to cram for and you saved my life! Glad my teacher recommended you.

[@tdewitt451]

@Eywa355 no, i'm sorry, you're wrong. i think you might be confused because you're thinking about the rules for multiplication and division. addition and subtraction have a different set of rules, which i'm following here. let me know if this still doesn't make sense.

[@tdewitt451]

absolutely right. there are different rules for multiplication/division and addition/subtraction.

[@tdewitt451]

@MXMGamer good question. i did two videos that will help with this. the first is called "scientific notation: addition and subtraction." the second one is called "scientific notation: multiplication and division."

[@juliehayes15]

I saw an hour long seminar on Significant Figures and didn't understand it all. I've seen your videos and have now got a clear understanding in about 30 minutes. Thank You!

[@tdewitt451]

because i'm adding here, and there are different rules for addition/subtraction than there are for multiplication/division. you want there to be 1 sig fig because those are the multiplication rules. but this is very important--make sure to learn the addition/subtraction rules and it will make sense: watch my video called "add and subtract with significant figures."

[@tdewitt451]

no. look at the numbers we start with : 2 sig figs in 2.0, and 4 sig figs in 8.330. we round the final answer to the smallest of these, so it should have 2 sig figs. why do you think there should be 3 sig figs in the final answer?

[@Veih05]

You are a life saver!! some professors have no patient and expects that you should already know this because it has been discussed in high school. Well, if you are from other country or you have no money to go to college and it will take a long time to get in this class again of course you will forget!! A lot of professors should be patient and be like you. Also, some other brain just does not like math so why push and rush?? Keep up the good work professor!!

[@souperman6406]

Tylor Ralph remember that when you add/subtract you take the least number of decimal places, not least number of sig figs. 9.2 has 1 decimal place, so after adding the numbers your answer should have 1 decimal place.

[@rocketrider1405]

Two memory aids for adjusting the exponent of the 10. Case 1: up. "It was LEFT UP to me to clean the cat barf." (moving the decimal place to the left means increase, i.e., up, the exponent on the 10. Case 2: down. "The fire hall is right down the street from me." Moving the decimal point to the right means you decrease the value of the exponent on the 10.
