203sin(2x)dx

Factor out the constant

320sin(2x)dx

Make a substitution

Let u=2x

du=2dx

du2=2dx2

du2=dx

3sin(u)du2

=312sin(u)du

=32sin(u)du

Recalculate the boundaries

Upper Bound

u=2x=2(2)=4

Lower Bound

u=2x=2(0)=0

3240sin(u)du

=32[cos(u)]40

=32[cos(4)(cos(0))]

=32[cos(4)(1)]

=32[cos(4)+1]

=[3cos(4)+32]
