write C*exp(x+a) as C*exp(x)*exp(a) to separate constant



The general simplifier automatically does exp(x)*exp(a) --> %e^(x+a). The only way to turn this simplification off is to set simp to false.
But setting simp to false will cause many things to not work.  To do something like C * exp(a+x) --> D * exp(x), you'll need to do some
programming, I think.

Dear all,

How can I make maxima expand exp(x+a) into exp(x)*exp(a)?

I would like to recognize exp(a) as a constant so it can be absorbed in the
constant of integration.

Best,
Nyso
