Homework Statement
I'm working out different pathlengths for different solids but I'm stuck on the following integral:
Homework Equations
[tex]\int[/tex] x*exp(-C*sqrt[1-x2/A2]) dx
exp = exponential func
sqrt = square root
C and A are constants
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to work it out with the substitution method, where u = -C*sqrt[1-x2/A2] and du = C/A2x(1-x2/A2)-1/2.
But it seems to be getting really complex afterwards, so I was wondering if I'm overlooking the simple approach for this integral?
