10^4 = 10000 (four zeros at the end)
10^-4 = 0.0001 (four zeros at the front)

With 10 to the power to a negative number, it's easier.
Here's a trick: The negative number is the places to the right of the decimal. The last number is a 1, while the rest are 0s.

From this, we get:
10^(-4)=\boxed{0.0001}
