    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 !
