The number \(0.000000077\) can be expressed in scientific notation as \(7.7 \times 10^{-8}\).
In scientific notation, you represent the number as a product of a coefficient (which is typically between 1 and 10) and a power of ten. To convert \(0.000000077\) into this format, you move the decimal point to the right until you have a coefficient between 1 and 10 and then count the number of places you moved it; in this case, you move it 8 places to the right, resulting in the exponent \(-8\).
