solving numerically nonlinear equation

solving numerically nonlinear equation

(OP)
i need some help here..

P=int(((s-h)^0.5)*exp(-0.5s^2)) and integral is from h to inf.
how could i use matlab to get the value of h. i know that i can solve numerically the nonlinear equation k-P(h)=0 to get h where k is constant. but how to put it into matlab command. thanks.

RE: solving numerically nonlinear equation

I think you need to create your own code for that. You can use the simple Rectangular Method for numerical integration. If it doesn't work very well, try the Gauss-Quadrature method.
