Step-by-step explanation

sinxsin3x+cos3x dx=αloge|1+tanx|+βloge1-tanx+tan2x+γtan-12tanx-13+C,..........i

Let, I=sinxsin3x+cos3xdx
I=tanxsec2xtan3+1dx

Put tanx=tsec2xdx=dt

=tdtt3+1=t(t+1)t2-t+1dt
Now t(t+1)t2-t+1=At+1+Bt+Ct2-t+1

t=At2-t+1+(Bt+C)(t+1)

t=t2A+B-tA-B-C+A+C

Comparing on both sides

A+B=0, -A+B+C=1, A+C=0

Solving these equations
A=-13, B=13, C=13
Hence I=-13t+1+13t+1t2-t+1dt
=-131t+1dt+13122t-1+32t2-t+1dt

=-131t+1dt+162t-1t2-t+1+12dtt-122+322=-13lnt+1+16lnt2-t+1+12·23tan-12t-13+C

=-13lntanx+1+16lntan2x-tanx+1+13tan-12tanx-13+C

From equation i, Comparing from both sides
α=-13, β=16 and γ=13
So 18α+β+γ2

=18-13+16+13

=3
