Potential Energy for Sum of two opposite forces

positive x-direction $$ \frac{B}{x^2}\hat i $$ And the constant force along x-axis pointing towards the origin $$ -A \hat i$$ The superposition of both is $$ F_x = \frac{B}{x^2}-A $$ I want to find the potential … But to find $U(x)$ I need a reference point where the potential energy is 0. …
