Hello, how do I solve this definite integral?

It never succeeds to calculate it so I assume I need to transform it into another form but I have no idea how.

Best answer by Werner_E

as the integrand is an odd function (f(-x)=-f(x)), the definite integral over an interval symmetrical to 0 has to yield zero.
