b]1. Homework Statement [/b]
prove that

\sum( (e^(-u)) (u(^(x)) )/x! (from x=o to n ) = \int ( (e^(-y))(y^n) )dy/n! (from u to infinite )


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


i know that the left is Poisson distribution formula but how to do with the 'sum' ?
and the right one i got a infinite series , use integration by part .but i don not know how to simplicity it .
is there anything else i can use for this question ?

Thread 'Prove that the integral is equal to ##\pi^2/8##'

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
