[DTube] Reduction Formula for Integral of ∫sin^n(x)dx

I'm in the process of uploading all of my Youtube videos to DTube, where they can be recorded on the Steem blockchain.

In this video, we work through the derivation of the reduction formula for the integral of sinⁿ(x) or [sin(x)]ⁿ.

We can approach this problem with integration by parts. The first step is to rewrite the integral as:

∫sinⁿ(x)dx = ∫sin^n-1(x)sin(x)dx

Thus we have 2 parts to the integral, where:

u = sin^n-1(x)
dv = sin(x)dx

We can then proceed with integration by parts:

∫udv = uv - ∫vdu

Working through the substitutions and the steps, we eventually arrive at the reduction formula shown in the video.
