I have a feeling something here is wrong
well dx is missing
4-x2 would differentiate to give -2x(dx)
But you'd use trigonometric substitution
ye
And that -2 is what i got at first
But the website and photomath are saying it ahould just be -
i would consider a trig sub here, your first sub attempt doesnt seem to work out well
hmm wait let me try arcsin
wait
how
ok for example all these websites are jsut doing this
You could try the substitution $u = \sqrt{4-x^2}$
But wouldnt that just leave me with -x
