Multiplicate Symbolic Variable with Real Number

Hello, I'm student, in my script I have a symbolic variable and I need to multiplicate with a real number, matlab does this but in a strange way:

example of my code:

syms x;
b=2^x;
c=2.9399*b;

I expect this:

2.9399*2^x

But MatLab return this:

(29399*2^x)/10000

in my script I get this and is hard to read (for a human ^^):

(6619970094463307*2^x)/2251799813685248

note that the division is right, it is 2.9399; any suggestion to have the form that I need? thanks

The vpa function is your friend here:

syms x;
b=2^x;
c=2.9399*b
c = vpa(c, 5)

produces:

c =

2.9399*2.0^x
