Answer

$$y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right) + \pi $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {4 - {x^2}} }} \cr & {\text{Separating variables}} \cr & dy = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {4 - {x^2}} }}dx \cr & {\text{Integrating both sides}} \cr & \int {dy} = \int {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {4 - {x^2}} }}} dx \cr & y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right) + C{\text{ }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & {\text{Using the initial condition }}y\left( 0 \right) = \pi \cr & \pi = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{0}{2}} \right) + C \cr & C = \pi \cr & {\text{Substituting }}C{\text{ into }}\left( {\bf{1}} \right) \cr & y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right) + \pi \cr} $$
