titlePro-Tips
  • Start with at least four significant digits for numeric entry; your response must be within 1% of the correct answer unless otherwise designated
  • Scientific notation may use the format of "e" or "x10^"
  • Comma use is fine.
  • Do not use symbols in solutions (ie do not use $ in monetary solutions, but you can write 'dollars'-or the specified 'answer in units of ---- '  stated in the question, after your numeric answer).
  • If offered, use the function pallet. If you don't see the pallet, plan on entering an actual number calculated out or simple expression (ex: 3x-5).


For applicable practice, your professor may opt to include a short 3 part question (sig fig practice, #222082) for you to get use to what is and is not acceptable:

Note that if you get a 'that response has already been entered' message, try to use another way to say the same thing (ie, if used 10^, try e). If you continue to get the 'that response has already been entered' accept that it is not correct and try again. This is a safeguard in place so you don't spend all your tries insisting on an answer that is incorrect.
