Connecting A Dell Inspiron To A Non-hd Tv

I want to connect my Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop to a non-HD TV.  The TV only has red, white and yellow RCA jacks for input.  There is no HDMI jack on the TV.  Is there a cable that will go from my laptop to this old TV?

Those are RGB (red, green blue) inputs.  You can use an adapter.  Numerous vendors carry them.
