I am taking algerbra I in eighth grade. It is the most frustrating and impossible thing I have ever attempted. I guess it only gets worse from here - yippy! The thing I have the most trouble understang is when you have a number to a negative power. How is this possible? I understand that 10 squared equals 10 * 10. Please help all the Algerbra and abstract concept students of the world.

.

Thanks a bunch!
