Homework Statement
The problem is: Show that the components of [tex]\vec{E}[/tex] due to a dipole are given at distant points, by Ex=[tex]\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon{o}}[/tex] [tex]\frac{3pxz}{(x^2+z^2)^{5/2}}[/tex] and Ez=[tex]\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon{o}}[/tex] [tex]\frac{p(2z^2-x^2)}{(x^2+z^2)^(5/2)}}[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried to break the fields of each one into vector components and add the components, however, it got really messy really quickly and after simplifying it a bit i got a ridiculous equation for just the x component, i had no clue where to go and gave up on even try to get the z component.
Ex=[tex]\frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon{o}}[/tex] [tex]\frac{((x^2+(z+[tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex])^2)^3/2-((x^2+(z-[tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex])^2)^3/2{((x^2+z^2)^2 +([tex]\frac{x^2d^2}{2}[/tex]-[tex]\frac{z^2d^2}{2}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{d^4}{16})^(3/2)[/tex]}
