Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. cos⁡3x=(1−sin⁡2x)cos⁡x\cos^{3} x = (1 - \sin^{2} x)\cos x. Put t=sin⁡xt = \sin x, dt=cos⁡x dxdt = \cos x\,dx.

  2. ∫(1−t2) dt=t−t33=sin⁡x−sin⁡3x3+C\int (1 - t^{2})\,dt = t - \frac{t^{3}}{3} = \sin x - \frac{\sin^{3} x}{3} + C.

Worth noting

cos⁡4x4\frac{\cos^{4} x}{4} uses the power rule on cos⁡x\cos x, but dxdx is not d(cos⁡x)d(\cos x).
