Homework Statement
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm having a tough time understanding this step. I understand that
the integral of 1/sqrt(a^2-x^2) = arcsin(u/a) + C
But sqrt(4-x^2) does not have a 1 in the numerator. It looks like they're using u substitution, if so, then why is it + 4 arcsin rather than times 4arcsin. I also don't understand where the 4 comes from.
