I can't figure out how to integrate this:

<br /> \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x}{\sqrt{m^2+x^2}}sin(kx)sin(t\sqrt{m^2+x^2}) dx <br />

m, k and t are constants.

The book has for m = 0, the solution is some dirac delta functions.

Hmm..I doubt you can find an exact solution for this.

At first glance, the stationary phase approximation might yield some result.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
