This belongs in your mathematical toolbox:
Explanation:
Integrate by substitution. Do this by pulling off one from the odd power, then convert the remaining even power to the other function. Integrate the resulting polynomial in
=∫[sin2πx−2sin4πx+sin6πx]cos(πx)dx
=1π∫(u2−2u4+u6)du
=1π[sin3πx3−2sin5πx5+sin7πx7]+C
