If, in a parallel universe, π has the value 3.14149, express π in that universe to four significant figures.Group of answer choices3.1413.1423.14153.1414

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the given value of π in the parallel universe: $3.14149$.
2. Determine how to express this value to four significant figures.

Relevant Concepts

1. Significant Figures: Significant figures refer to the digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. The number of significant figures of a number includes all non-zero digits, any zeros between significant digits, and any trailing zeros in the decimal portion.

Analysis and Detail

1. The given value is $3.14149$.
2. To express this number to four significant figures, we identify the first four digits:
   • The first four digits are $3.141$.
3. The fifth digit is $4$, which means we need to round the fourth digit:
   • Since the fifth digit is greater than 4, we round up.

Verify and Summarize

1. Rounding $3.1414$ considers the fourth digit $4$ and rounds up due to the fifth digit $4$, resulting in $3.1415$.

Final Answer

The value of π in that universe to four significant figures is $3.1415$.
