Prove:
[tex]\frac{Sec^{2}\frac{y}{2}}{2} \eqiv \frac{2}{1+x^{2}}[/tex]
Well i know from the pythagorean identities that tan^{2}x + 1 = sec^{2}x
so
[tex]\frac{tan^{2}\frac{y}{2} + 1}{2} \eqiv \frac{2}{1+x^{2}}[/tex]
But now I am stuck!
If your interested the full qusetion is page 35, question 7 (ii) here:

Can someone point me in the right direction
