Welcome to the PF.

Can you show some examples of what you would like to do? What research and reading have you done so far on this?

I'm being quizzed on the concept, not with actual numbers.

Is this for schoolwork?
 
It would be helpful if you gave us an example of the type of problem you're talking about.
 
A review of the laws of exponents should help here.
