Answer

$-\dfrac{2\sqrt{4-w^2}}{w}+C$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider $w =2 \sin \theta $ and $dw=2 \cos \theta d\theta $ and $2 \cos \theta =\sqrt{4-w^2}$ Now, the given integral becomes: $\int \dfrac{(16\cos \theta)}{4 \sin^2 \theta} d \theta = 2 \int \csc^2 \theta d \theta$ Integrate and plug in $\cot \theta =\cos\theta/\sin \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{4-w^2}}{w}$ Thus, $-2\cot \theta+C=-\dfrac{2\sqrt{4-w^2}}{w}+C$
