Detail solution

Rewrite the integrand:

$\sin{\left(4 x \right)} \cos{\left(5 x \right)} = - 128 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)} + 160 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} - 40 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 64 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)} - 80 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} + 20 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$
Integrate term-by-term:
1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
  
  $\int \left(- 128 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)}\right)\, dx = - 128 \int \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$
  1. Rewrite the integrand:
    
    $\sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)} = \left(1 - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{6}{\left(x \right)}$
  2. There are multiple ways to do this integral.
    Method #1
    1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
      
      Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $du$ :
      
      $\int \left(u^{8} - u^{6}\right)\, du$
      
      Integrate term-by-term:
      
      The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u^{8}\, du = \frac{u^{9}}{9}$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \left(- u^{6}\right)\, du = - \int u^{6}\, du$
      
      The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u^{6}\, du = \frac{u^{7}}{7}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{7}}{7}$
      
      The result is: $\frac{u^{9}}{9} - \frac{u^{7}}{7}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{\cos^{9}{\left(x \right)}}{9} - \frac{\cos^{7}{\left(x \right)}}{7}$
    Method #2
    1. Rewrite the integrand:

      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{9}}{9}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $- \frac{\cos^{9}{\left(x \right)}}{9}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\cos^{9}{\left(x \right)}}{9}$
      
      Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
      
      Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :

      $\int u^{6}\, du = \frac{u^{7}}{7}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{7}}{7}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $- \frac{\cos^{7}{\left(x \right)}}{7}$
