Solution Steps

To express the number $-44,000,000$ in scientific notation, we need to rewrite it as a product of a number between $-1$ and $-10$ and a power of 10. We count the number of places we move the decimal point to the left to get a number between $-1$ and $-10$.

Step 1: Identify the Number

We start with the number $-44,000,000$.

Step 2: Convert to Scientific Notation

To express $-44,000,000$ in scientific notation, we rewrite it as: \[ -44,000,000 = -4.4 \times 10^7 \] This is achieved by moving the decimal point 7 places to the left, resulting in the coefficient $-4.4$.
