Suppose that $X,Y$ are independent random variables on $(\Omega, F, P)$. Assume there is a number $a <1$ such that $P(X \le a) = 1$. Also assume that $Y$ is exponentially distributed with mean one. Calculate the expected value of $[e^{XY} \ | \ \sigma(X)]$.
I'm really not sure where to even begin, here. We've been going over conditional expectations in class, but haven't really talked about any ways to actually calculate them. I see that X is a bounded random variable, and that since Y is exponentially distributed, $P(Y \in B) = \chi_B e^{-x}$ for any $B$ in the sigma-field of Y. I just don't know how to put any of these facts together to actually find the expectation.
