x must be >0  let I =∫  x^(−3cosx) dx  I = ∫  e^(−3cosx.ln(x)) dx  =∫ Σ_(n=0) ^∞   (((−1)^n 3^n (cosx)^n (ln(x))^n )/(n!))dx  =Σ_(n=0) ^∞   (((−3)^n )/(n!)) A_n   with  A_n = ∫  (cosx)^n (ln(x))^n dx so it is possible to  find I if you know how to find the value of  Σ_(n=0) ^∞   (A_n /(n!))(−3)^n   ....
