2. **Round to the hundredths place:**
- Look at the digit in the thousandths place (which is 5 in this case).
- Since 5 is equal to 5, we round up the hundredths place (which is 8) by 1.
- Therefore, 17.28571429 rounded to the hundredths place is **17.29**.

3. **Round to the thousandths place:**
- Look at the digit in the ten-thousandths place (which is 7 in this case).
- Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the thousandths place (which is 5) by 1.
- Therefore, 17.28571429 rounded to the thousandths place is **17.286**.

In summary:
