Answer

$$2\arcsin \left( {\frac{{x - 2}}{2}} \right) + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt { - {x^2} + 4x} }}} dx \cr & {\text{Completing the square}} \cr & \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt { - {x^2} + 4x} }}} dx = \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt { - \left( {{x^2} - 4x + 4 - 4} \right)} }}} dx \cr & = \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt {4 - {{\left( {x - 2} \right)}^2}} }}} dx \cr & {\text{Let }}u = x - 2,{\text{ }}x = u + 2,{\text{ }}dx = du,{\text{ }} \cr & \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt {4 - {{\left( {x - 2} \right)}^2}} }}} dx = \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt {4 - {u^2}} }}} du \cr & {\text{Integrate using basic integration rules}} \cr & \int {\frac{2}{{\sqrt {4 - {u^2}} }}} du = 2\arcsin \left( {\frac{u}{2}} \right) + C \cr & {\text{Write in terms of }}x \cr & = 2\arcsin \left( {\frac{{x - 2}}{2}} \right) + C \cr} $$
