#2x^3sin^-1x - (2/3)sqrt(1-x^2)(x^2+2)#

Explanation:

integration by parts formula:
#intu(dv)/dx# = #uv-int(vu')dx#

So pick something you can integrate (v), and something you can differentiate (u)
#u= sin^-1 x :. u' = 1/sqrt(1 - x^2#
#v=2x^3# because #v' = 6x^2#

then plug into the formula:

#sin^-1x*2x^3 - int(2x^3)/sqrt(1-x^2)dx#

#(2x^3)/sqrt(1-x^2)# is a product - can also write as #2x^3*(1-x^2)^(-1/2)# so will need to use integration by parts again. This comes out as #-(2/3)sqrt(1-x^2)(x^2+2)#
