This is a BIG part of your grade – do not wait until the deadline. You may NOT drop any online scores.
Print it out and show your equations and work. I will not help you without work.
Be logged into YOUR account when sharing a computer. Enter answer into the correct problem number.
NO units – just enter the number. Use decimals, NEVER use fractions.
Do NOT round any numbers in your work until your final answer is found. Learn the “Store” function of your
calculator (Mrs. Newman can help).
Use at least four significant digits for your final answer.
Check the units given and the units required.
“Magnitude” means size (no negatives in your answer)
If you experience computer trouble on due date, see me or contact me before school the next day
Scientific notation:
2,100,000 = 2.1x10^6 = 2.1e6
(all examples will work)
0.000567 = -5.67x10^-4 = -5.67e-4
