Try integration by parts. You probably
need to use parts twice to get the answer out. Alternatively, if
you know about complex exponentials, try substituting them in,
expanding and integrating directly.

PS. I'm assuming that this is sin x cos 3x not sin x
cos3 x. If the latter is the case, of course you use
the substitution u = cos x.
Thanks Michael for that tip. I'll do it by parts!
Alternatively, use some trig
formulae.
sin(x + 3x) = sin(x)cos(3x) + cos(x)sin(3x)
sin(x - 3x) = sin(x)cos(3x) - cos(x)sin(3x)
Add these together and you get:
sin(x)cos(3x) = (sin 4x - sin 2x)/2
and from there it's straightforward.
