Hello!
I am modelling projectile motion under some non-simplified assumptions and I should obtain a some sort of 'solution' for the following horrible looking(?) integral
\(\displaystyle I(x, k) = \int_{-a}^x W(t) \sqrt[k]{t + a}\ \mathrm{d}t\),
where \(\displaystyle x \ge -a = -\mathrm{e}^{-1}\) and \(\displaystyle k \in \mathbb{Z}_+\). As for the \(\displaystyle x\), I can fix \(\displaystyle x = X\), that's not a problem for e.g. numerical integration.
But is there any other method to compute an approximation for \(\displaystyle I(x, k)\) than numerical methods? As far as I know, writing \(\displaystyle W(t)\) in terms of power serie is quite messy. But is there any other approachs?
Thank you! ^^
