You can put this solution on YOUR website! The general rule to follow is:
------------------------
To attempt to show why this is so,
suppose ( e = 2.2718 ), or
--------------
Also, suppose , or
--------------
So, now I can say:
-----------------------------
-----------------------
If you don't understand this last line, then
