Electric Potential of Charge Distribution

[metgt4]

Homework Statement

Two point charges, -q and q/3, are situated at the origin and at the point (a,0,0) respectively. At what point on the x-axis does the Electric Field Vanish? Find the potential function and show that the V = 0 equipotential surface is a sphere

Homework Equations

I have found that the electric field can be described as:

E = \frac{q}{4pi\epsilon_{o}}[\frac{-1}{r^2}\widehat{r}+\frac{q}{3(r^2 + a^2 - 2racos\alpha}\widehat{r'}]

where alpha is the angle between r and r', but I'm not sure how to find the potential field. I know that the potential is the negative integral of the electric field, but I get stuck when trying to integrate the potential due to the positive charge. I'm sure that the solution is something SUPER obvious that I simply am overlooking in my sleep deprived state, but any hints or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Andrew

You don't need to do any integrals. For any point, find the potential there for each point charge and sum them.
