Question
Find the general solution of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}=\sqrt{4-y^{2}}(-2<y<2)$

Answer

Here, we have
$ \frac{d y}{d x}=\sqrt{4-y^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{\sqrt{4-y^{2}}}$ = dx
Integrating throughout, we get
$ \int \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\sqrt{4-\mathrm{y}^{2}}}=\int \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}$
$\Rightarrow \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}} d x=\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}$
$\Rightarrow \sin ^{-1} \frac{y}{2}$ = x + c
$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{2}=\sin (x+c)$
$\Rightarrow y=2 \sin (x+c)$
$\therefore ~y=2 \sin (x+c) $is the general solution of the given differential equation.
