So, I'm completely stuck at integrating this integral:
$$\int x\sin{(1+x^2)}\sin{(1-x^3)}\ dx$$
The solution should supposedly be: $-\frac{1}{4}x^2\cos{(2x^2)}+\frac{1}{8}\sin{(2x^2)}+C$.
Using trigonometric identity:
$$\sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)=\frac{1}{2}\bigg[\cos{(\alpha-\beta)}-\cos{(\alpha+\beta)}\bigg]$$
I get:
$$\int x\sin{(1+x^2)}\sin{(1-x^3)}\ dx=\frac{1}{2}\int x\cos{(x^3+x^2)}\ dx\ -\ \frac{1}{2}\int x\cos{(x^3-x^2-2)}\ dx$$
But, I have no idea what to do with those integrals.
I've also tried using:
$$\sin{(\alpha\pm\beta)}=\sin{(\alpha)}\cos{(\beta)}\pm\cos{(\alpha)}\sin{(\beta)}$$
But, it led me nowhere. Any tips on how to solve this? Thank you for your time.
Edit: So, there are mistakes in both the integral and solution. The original integral should be (thanks Yves Daoust):
$$\int x\sin{(1+x^2)}\sin{(1-x^2)}\ dx$$
The solution should be:
$$-\frac{1}{4}\cos{(2)}\cdot x^2+\frac{1}{8}\sin{(2x^2)}+C$$

The derivative of the supposed answer is $$ -\frac{1}{2}x\cos(2x^2)+x^3\sin(2x^2)+\frac{1}{2}x\cos(2x^2)=x^3\sin(2x^2) $$ Substituting $x=1$ into this expression gives $\sin(2)$, while the original expression is $0$ when $x=1$. Therefore, there appears to be an error with the supposed solution.
