integral of 1/(sqrt((4-x^2)))

\int \frac{1}{( 4 - x ^{2} )} d x

arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{4 - x ^{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int 1 d u

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

u = arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)

= 1 \cdot arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)

Simplify

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + C
