    Sir, Kindly refer to problem 8.12 (main problems) -

    the answer for option ii) is being rounded of my calculator, if I have set the calculator to 4 decimal places.

    My question is, how do you know whether the calculator is rounding off the result and maybe distorting the answer? and to how many decimal places should I set the calculator at?

    Regards,

    Sameer

    Bit confused. What is your calculator displaying?

    Mine (a Casio fx-85GT) is displaying \(5.5*10^{-5}\).
