Homework Statement


I have reached this integration from a mechanics problem about small angle scattering. t= (2pa/mv^2)*(int from p to infinity) [r*dr]/[((b^2 +r^2)^(3/2))(sqrt(r^2 - p^2))]

The Attempt at a Solution


I know that there should be a substitution that will make this an easy problem, but I can't find it. I've tried the simple ones like let y=r^2, or y=b^2 + r^2, but they didn't get me anywhere.

For further reference, here is your integral in a more readable form:
\frac{2pa}{mv^2}\int_{r = p}^{\infty}\frac{r~dr}{(b^2 + r^2)^{3/2}\sqrt{r^2 - p^2}}

You might try an ordinary substitution of u = r2 - p2, but I'm not sure that will do you much good. Next I would try a trig substitution, sec \theta = r/p.
 
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...
