Well, can we somehow use a little bit of algebra and exponent properties to rewrite this so it does look like something with e as a base? Well, you could view a, you could view a as being equal to e, let me write it this way, well, I'll write it, a as being equal to e to the natural log of a. Now, I want you to, if this isn't obvious to you, I really want you to think about it. What is the natural log of a? The natural log, the natural log of a is the power you need to raise e to to get to a. So if you actually raise e to that power, if you raise e to the power you need to raise e to to get to a, well, then you're just going to get to a. So really think about this.
