00:02 Okay, here you're talking about significant digits.
00:05 So for the first one, 405 -000 -0.
00:10 Trailing zeros are not significant.
00:14 So you have three significant figures.
00:18 They are zero, sorry, four, zero, and five.
00:23 Looking at number two, this is 0 .0098.
00:28 8.
00:29 So leading zeros are also not significant.
00:33 So the reason trailing and leading zeros are not significant is because we can undo them with scientific notation.
00:41 So when this is incorrect scientific notation, how many digits does it have? so this is two.
00:47 And it is 9 and 8.
00:51 The third one is 39 .1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 .9.
00:57 So this is eight significant digits.
01:03 Every digit is significant.
01:05 They are not leading or trailing zeros here.
01:08 So even though that there are six nines, every single one of them is significant.
01:14 Number four is 1300.
01:30 So here this is two significant digits...
