When you are finding variables to exponentes, like: 3^x = 27, is there any othe way to find the value of x, other than just multipling 3x3x3 = 27, so x = 3.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "You can multiply the base, 3 in this case, until you get to the value (27).
\n" ); document.write( "Or, you can divide the value (27) by the base until you get to one (1).
\n" ); document.write( "This works if the exponent is an integer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
