It's just like normal exponents, but negative is division instead. 2^3 would be 2x2x2, 2^-3 would be 2/2/2.
Example: Simplify 10^-4
What are the steps in simplifying this? I only know how to simplify integers/numbers with positive exponents.

Oh! Thank you!
So that means the answer won’t be negative?

Exactly. However, if your integer(the number before the exponent) is negative, follow the rule for multiplying negatives.
Ohhh! I finally get it! Tysm!!!
I’m into literature, not mathematics. Now run along.
