hey got a integration by sub question.
using the substitution x=pi - y , evalute integrand(xsin^3(x)) dx from pi to 0.
(the integral is read x multiplied by sine cubed x)

i get up to (pi-y)sin^3(y) dy but not sure of where to go form there

TIA

split it and add it back,

split it to pisin^3(y) -ysin^3(y)
u can add the ysin^3(y) to the other side...and keep going

Is the answer 2pi/3 ?? If so I'll post solution.
