next time you make a question, try to show what you had tried, otherwise it is likely you dont get answers and the question could be closed fast

Hint: consider separately
$$
int_0^{1}frac{sin^2x}{x^4},dx
qquadtext{and}qquad
int_1^{infty}frac{sin^2x}{x^4},dx
$$
The latter converges because, for $xge1$,
$$
frac{sin^2x}{x^4}lefrac{1}{x^4}
$$
The former can be written as
$$
int_0^{1}frac{sin^2x}{x^2}frac{1}{x^2},dx
$$
Can you go on?
