What are real life uses of exponents?

Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using exponents. For example 2000 is 2x103 . We can do the same thing with negative exponents and write very small numbers like 1/2000 which is 2x10-3 . So one real life use of exponents in in scientific notation.

How can you scientific notation to solve real world problems?

Scientific notation is useful for very large or very small numbers. If you use such numbers in your "real world", then scientific notation will be very useful. This may be the case, for example, when you work in science or engineering. Otherwise, if you don't work in an area that uses such large or small numbers, you probably won't find much use for them.
