Title: How can the roots of a certain type of equation be found?
Post by: Atomic-S on 24/04/2010 07:46:59

Let F(x) = ∫_a^b G(u)•x^udu
where a and b are constants, either or both of which could be ±∞, and
G is some function. 

Does anyone know a procedure for finding the roots, i.e., the values of x such that F(x) = 0?
