#int (x^2)(sinx^3) dx = -1/3cosx^3 +C#

#int (x^2)(sinx^3) dx#

Let #u = x^3# so that #du = 3x^2 dx#

Out integral becomes:

#1/3 int (sinx^3) 3x^2dx = 1/3 int sin u du#

# = 1/3 (-cosu) +C#

# = -1/3cosx^3 +C#

Check the answer by differentiating:

#d/dx(-1/3cosx^3 +C) = -1/3* -sin(x^3) * 3x^2#

# = sin(x^3)* x^2#

Looks good, so that's it.
