When am I ever going to use negative exponents in real life?
Answered by Dr. Greenthumb
it depends on what you do but if you work in the stock market you'll need to use the to calculate losses compared to gains
Answered by bobpursley
I wish my stock market losses were negative exponents, as it is, most of them are positive exponents.

Positive exponents are large numbers;
10^2= 100
10^4=10,000

Negative exponents are quite the contrary;
10^-2= .02
10^-4=.0001

Negative exponents deal with small fractions of things

14grams= 1.4*10^-3 kilograms
the mass of an electron is
9.1*10^-31kg
