Detail solution

Rewrite the integrand:

$\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{4}{\left(x \right)} = \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}\right) \left(\frac{\cos{\left(2 x \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}$
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Let $u = 2 x$ .
  
  Then let $du = 2 dx$ and substitute $du$ :
  
  $\int \left(- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(u \right)}}{16} - \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(u \right)}}{16} + \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{16} + \frac{1}{16}\right)\, du$
  1. Integrate term-by-term:
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \left(- \frac{\cos^{3}{\left(u \right)}}{16}\right)\, du = - \frac{\int \cos^{3}{\left(u \right)}\, du}{16}$
      
      Rewrite the integrand:
      
      $\cos^{3}{\left(u \right)} = \left(1 - \sin^{2}{\left(u \right)}\right) \cos{\left(u \right)}$
      
      Let $u = \sin{\left(u \right)}$ .
      
      Then let $du = \cos{\left(u \right)} du$ and substitute $du$ :
      
      $\int \left(1 - u^{2}\right)\, du$
      
      Integrate term-by-term:
      
      The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int 1\, du = u$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \left(- u^{2}\right)\, du = - \int u^{2}\, du$
      
      The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u^{2}\, du = \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
      
      The result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{3} + u$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $- \frac{\sin^{3}{\left(u \right)}}{3} + \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin^{3}{\left(u \right)}}{48} - \frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{16}$
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \left(- \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(u \right)}}{16}\right)\, du = - \frac{\int \cos^{2}{\left(u \right)}\, du}{16}$
      
      Rewrite the integrand:
      
      $\cos^{2}{\left(u \right)} = \frac{\cos{\left(2 u \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$
      
      Integrate term-by-term:
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(2 u \right)}}{2}\, du = \frac{\int \cos{\left(2 u \right)}\, du}{2}$
      
      Let $u = 2 u$ .
      
      Then let $du = 2 du$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{4}\, du$
      
      The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{2}\, du = \frac{\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du}{2}$
      
      The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du = \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\frac{\sin{\left(2 u \right)}}{2}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(2 u \right)}}{4}$
      
      The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int \frac{1}{2}\, du = \frac{u}{2}$
      
      The result is: $\frac{u}{2} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 u \right)}}{4}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u}{32} - \frac{\sin{\left(2 u \right)}}{64}$
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{\cos{\left(u \right)}}{16}\, du = \frac{\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du}{16}$
      
      The integral of cosine is sine:
      
      $\int \cos{\left(u \right)}\, du = \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $\frac{\sin{\left(u \right)}}{16}$
    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int \frac{1}{16}\, du = \frac{u}{16}$
    The result is: $\frac{u}{32} - \frac{\sin{\left(2 u \right)}}{64} + \frac{\sin^{3}{\left(u \right)}}{48}$
  Now substitute $u$ back in:
  
  $\frac{x}{16} + \frac{\sin^{3}{\left(2 x \right)}}{48} - \frac{\sin{\left(4 x \right)}}{64}$

      $\int u^{2}\, du = \frac{u^{3}}{3}$
      
      So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{6}$
      
      The result is: $- \frac{u^{3}}{6} + \frac{u}{2}$
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $- \frac{\sin^{3}{\left(2 x \right)}}{6} + \frac{\sin{\left(2 x \right)}}{2}$
