complex analysis - Prove inti0nftyfracsin4xx4dx=fracpi3

I need to show that
0sin4xx4dx=π3



I have already derived the result 0sin2xx2=π2 using complex analysis, a result which I am supposed to start from. Using a change of variable x2x :



0sin2(2x)x2dx=π




Now using the identity sin2(2x)=4sin2x4sin4x, we obtain



0sin2xsin4xx2dx=π4
π20sin4xx2dx=π4
0sin4xx2dx=π4



But I am now at a loss as to how to make x4 appear at the denominator. Any ideas appreciated.



Important: I must start from 0sin2xx2dx, and use the change of variable and identity mentioned above
