A link there will connect you to my website.  On my Homepage, look for the link \"Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time.\"  Choose \"Basic Algebra\", and look in \"Chapter 2\" for the topics on \"Laws of Exponents\", Sections 2.12 and 2.13\".  Also see solutions to these kinds of problems on my \"MATH IN LIVING COLOR\" pages that corrspond to these pages.  Most people tell me that my explanations are a lot easier to understand than their expensive textbooks--and MINE ARE ALL FREE!!!  Imgaine that!!  If you like my explanations, all I ask is that you recommend them to friends and family!!\r<BR>\n" );
