Answer

\[I=\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{4-x^2}}dx\] Put \[\;\;x=2\sin\theta\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}\;\;\;...(1)\] \[\Rightarrow dx=2\cos\theta\:d\theta\] \[\Rightarrow I=\int\frac{2\cos\theta}{\sqrt{4(1-\sin^2 \theta)}}d\theta\] \[\Rightarrow I=\int\frac{2\cos\theta} {2\cos\theta}d\theta\] \[I=\int d\theta\] \[I=\theta\] From (1) \[I=\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration Hence, \[I=\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+C\;.\]
