Hello all I need some help with this problem, I just can't get.
I have an integral like this:
I started like this:
I'm positive I can't simplify the integrand any further, and so I'm sure that I need to make a substitution to solve it, but I'm going absolutely mad trying to find a good substitution to make.

Sorry, seeing all the 'useful characters' at the top of the page, I assumed this site didn't have LaTeX, and missed the sticky thread at the top. I'll re-type in LaTeX.

Try substituting u = 100-x.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious (you've probably tried that already), but I'm pretty sure it does work.

I forgot to write that the x in the sqrt is squared too, so its 100-x^2. Sorry about that

As TheDude said before we moved servers, that actually makes things a little easier.
Using u = 100-x² gives that dx = -du/2x.
The x's cancel and you're left with

Mathsyperson, we resolved this yesterday before we moved servers

I knew that it had been answered yesterday, but I couldn't remember whether Archit had seen the answer. Still, restating something never hurts.
