What is the value of 9682 when rounded to three significant figures?

Answer 1

#color(red)(968)0# has 3 significant figures.

Though it is less precise, the number's size remains constant.

All of these numbers are extremely near to 10,000. Three significant figures denotes three non-zero digits (unless the 0 is between two other digits).

#color(red)(9682)# has 4 significant figures.

#color(red)(968)0# has 3 significant figures.

#color(red)(97)00# has 2 significant figures.

#color(red)(1)0,000# has 1 significant figure. ( In 9682 the 6 rounds the 9 up to 10)
