determining normalization constant

Stuck on this problem.

Find the normalization constant for the wavefunction: exp(-ax^2) over infinite one-dimensional space, where a is a constant.

And you tried to solve this how, exactly?

If you've got no idea, start by asking yourself: what is a normalization constant?
