Using the trigonometric identity (sinx)^2 + (cosx)^2 = 1, show that (secx)^2 = (tanx)^2 + 1 is also a trigonometric identity.

We can divide by (cosx)^2 across the identity (sinx)^2 + (cosx)^2 = 1 (which can be derived from properties of the unit circle and a bit of Pythagoras’ theorem) to achieve

[(sinx)^2 / (cosx)^2] + [...

The random variable J has a Poisson distribution with mean 4. Find P(J>2)

P(J>2) = P(J=0)+P(J=1)     [split it up]

P(X=t)= (V^t)/t!*e^V       where V=4 in this case  [use the formula]

P(J>2) = 4^0/0!*e^4 + 4^1/1!*e^4

          =1/e^4 + 4/e^4  =  5e^-4...
