    I = ∫ ( - 4 sin³ mx ) dx ...... (1)

    ...............................................................................

    We have

    sin ( 3 mx ) = 3 sin mx - 4 sin³ mx

    so that

    - 4 sin³ mx = sin (3mx) - 3 sin mx.

    .........................................................................................................

    Hence, from (1),

    I = ∫ [ sin (3mx) - 3 sin (mx) ] dx

    ..= [ - ( cos 3mx ) / (3m) ] - 3 [ - ( cos mx ) / (m) ] + C

    ..= ( - 1/ 3m) cos 3mx + ( 3/m ) cos mx + C ...................... Ans.

    ..........................................................................................

    Happy To Help !

    ∫ -4(sin mx)³ dx

    = -4 ∫ (sin mx)³ dx

    = -4 ∫ sin mx sin² mx dx

    = -4 ∫ sin mx (1 - cos² mx) dx

    = -4 ∫ (sin mx - sin mx cos² mx) dx

    = -4 ∫ sin mx dx + 4 ∫ sin mx cos² mx dx

    = 4cos (mx)/m + 4 ∫ sin mx cos² mx dx + C

    Let u = cos mx

    du = -msin mx

    = 4cos (mx)/m - 4/m ∫ u²du + C

    = 4cos (mx)/m - 4/m (u³/3) + C

    = 4cos (mx)/m - 4/m (cos³ mx/3) + C

    = 4cos (mx)/m - 4cos³ (mx)/(3m) + C

    = 4cos (mx)/m [1 - cos² (mx)/3] + C
