You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let u=3x, du=3dx

.
.
.
%28sin%28u%29%29%5E2%2B%28cos%28u%29%29%5E2=1
%28cos%28u%29%29%5E2=1-%28sin%28u%29%29%5E2
%28cos%28u%29%29%5E4=1-%28sin%28u%29%29%5E4
Substitute,


.
.
.
Let v=sin%28u%29, dv=cos%28u%29du



.
.
Now the problem is reduced to a simple polynomial integration.
Integrate and then substitute back for v and then finally u.

Additionally, this is not an algebra problem.
