its not sin 3x its sin^3 x



substitutions is slow for this, u shudn't need it
sin(2x+x)=Sin2xcosx+cos2xsinx
sin3x=2sinxcosx.cosx+(1-2sin^2x).sinx
sin3x=2sinxcos^2x+sinx-2sin^3x
sin3x=2sinx(1-sin^2x)+sinx-2sin^3x
sin3x=2sinx-2sin^3x+sinx-2sin^3x
sin3x=3sinx-4sin^3x

therefore sin^3x=1/4(3sinx-sin3x)

Int. sin^3x dx= 1/4 Int (3sinx-sin3x)
=1/4(-3cosx+1/3cos3x)
=-3/4cosx+1/12cos3x or/ 1/12cos3x-3/4cosx for neatness
