Proving the Reduction Formula of $tan^n(theta)$
$begingroup$
The following is what I have tried to prove the reduction formula of $tan^n(theta)$.
For the last step, how to convert the $int sec^2(theta) tan^{n-1}(theta)dtheta $ to $frac {tan^{n-1}theta}{n-1}$?
Thank you for your help.

HINT: Since $$frac{d}{dtheta}tan theta=sec^2theta$$, you have $$int sec^2theta tan^{n-2}theta dtheta=int tan^{n-2}theta d(tantheta)$$
