Homework Statement


I need to intergrate sin(x^3) for a sum and I don't know how to.


Homework Equations


The sum is (integrate)3x+Sin(x^3)+1


The Attempt at a Solution


I've tried substituting u for x^3 but I don't know where to go from there considering du=3x^2.dx, which isn't relevant to my equation in any way.
