find the general formula  ∫_0 ^(π/2) tan^α (x) dx

$${find}\:{the}\:{general}\:{formula} \\ $$$$\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} {tan}^{\alpha} \left({x}\right)\:{dx} \\ $$

I =∫_0 ^(π/2)  tan^α xdx   changement tanx =t  give  I =∫_0 ^∞   ((t^α  )/(1+t^2 ))dt    also changement t =u^(1/2)   give I =∫_0 ^∞   (u^(α/2) /(1+u))(1/2) u^(−(1/2))  du  =∫_0 ^∞   (u^((α−1)/2) /(1+u))du    we hsve proved that ∫_0 ^∞  (t^(a−1) /(1+t))dt  =(π/(sin(πa))) if 0<a<1 ⇒  I = ∫_0 ^∞   (u^(((α+1)/2)−1) /(1+u))du =(π/(sin((π/2)(α+1)))) =(π/(cos(((πα)/2))))  so ∫_0 ^(π/2)  tan^α xdx =(π/(cos(((πα)/2))))  conditions!      0<((α+1)/2)<1 ⇒  0<α+1<2 ⇒−1<α<1  to get the convergence
