Exercise 10 Page 366

Round the given decimal number to the nearest 0.000001.

6* 10^(- 6)

We want to round the given decimal number and write the result as the product of a single digit and a power of 10. 0.00000572 Let's start by rounding the given number to the nearest 0.00000 1. Since the digit in the ${\color{#FF0000}{\text{ten-}}} {\color{#FF0000}{\text{millionths}}} {\color{#FF0000}{\text{place}}}is greater than5,we will modify the digit in the{\color{#A800DD}{\text{millionths}}} {\color{#A800DD}{\text{place}}}.'"`UNIQ--MLMath-4-QINU`"' Finally, we will write the above number as the product of a single digit and a power of10.To do so, let's first factor out6.$
0.000006
6* 0.000001
6* 10^(- 6)
