Rounding off a number
Even and odd case
Rules
Non-zero digits are always significant.

Any zeros between two significant
digits are significant.
A final zero or trailing zeros in the
decimal portion ONLY are significant.
Round the final result to the least
number of significant figures of any
one term.
Examples
1) 3.0800 - five significant figures. All the rules are illustrated by this
problem. Rule one - the 3 and the 8. Rule Two - the zero between the 3
and 8. Rule three - the two trailing zeros after the 8.
2) 0.00418 - three significant figures: the 4, the 1, and the 8. This is a
typical type of problem where the student errs by giving five significant
figures as the answer.
3) 7.09 x 105 - three significant figures. When a number is written in
scientific notation, only significant figures are placed into the numerical
portion. If this number were taken out of scientific notation, it would be
0.0000709.
4) 91,600 - three significant figures. The last two zeros are not
considered to be significant (at least normally). Suppose you had
information that showed the zero in the tens place to be significant. How
would you show it to be different from the zero in the ones place, which
is not significant? The answer is scientific notation. Here is how it would
be written: 9.160 x 104. This CLEARLY indicates the presence of four
significant figures.
5) 0.003005- four significant figures. No matter how many zeros there are
between two significant figures, all the zeros are to be considered
significant. A number like 70.000001 would have 8 significant figures.
6) 3.200 x 109 - four significant figures. Notice the use of scientific
notation to indicate that there are two zeros which should be significant.
If this number were to be written without scientific notation
(3,200,000,000) the significance of those two zeros would be lost and
you would - wrongly - say that there were only two significant figures.

Comparison
Ratio : by dividing one number by
another
15 to 3 15:3=15/3=5
Proportion : equality of two ratios

a/b = c/d 15:3::25:5
Variation : the result one when the other

changes
Direct
Inverse
Percentage and Average

Percentage : by the hundred
2 = 200%, 1.5 = 150%
50 = 25% of 400
15% of 60 = 9
Average :
Rate
Average of 3,4,5,6,7 is (3+4+5+6+7)/5 = 5
Rate
Division by time
Powers and Roots

Power = root exponent
9 = 32
Root = index Power

3 = 327
Rules
ax ay = a x+y
ax/ay = ax-y
(ax)y = axy
1/ax = a-x
xa = a1/x
Logarithms
100 = 102
2 is the logarithm of 100 on the base 10
Log(ab) = loga + logb

Log(a/b) = log(a) log(b)
Log(ab) = b*log(a)

Laws
Associative law
3a + (2b 3c) = (3a +2b) 3c
(a x b) x c = a x (b x c)
Commutative law
3a x 2b = 2b x 3a
Distributive law
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Special Products
(a + b) (a + b) = a2 +2ab + b2
(a - b) (a - b) = a2 - 2ab + b2
(a + b) (a - b) = a2 - b2
(a + b) (a + ) = a2 +a(b + c) + bc
(a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
a3 + b3= (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)
a3 - b3= (a - b) (a2 + ab + b2)
