Step 1 :Express the number in decimal notation. The number is \(7.11 \times 10^{-6}\).
Step 2 :In scientific notation, the number \(a \times 10^b\) means that the decimal point in \(a\) is moved \(b\) places to the right if \(b\) is positive, and \(b\) places to the left if \(b\) is negative.
Step 3 :In this case, \(b\) is -6, so we need to move the decimal point in 7.11 six places to the left.
Step 4 :Final Answer: \(7.11 \times 10^{-6} = \boxed{0.00000711}\)
