Answer

$\frac{1}{3}\cos \frac{1}{x}+C$

Work Step by Step

$\int \frac{\sin(1/x)}{3x^2}dx$ Let $u=\frac{1}{x}=x^{-1}$. Then $du=-x^{-2}dx=-\frac{1}{x^2}dx$, so $\frac{1}{3x^2}dx=-\frac{1}{3}du$ $=\int\sin u*(-\frac{1}{3})du$ $=-\frac{1}{3}\int\sin u du$ $=-\frac{1}{3}(-\cos u+C)$ $=\frac{1}{3}\cos \frac{1}{x}+C$
