CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. 1/21−x2/4=1/2124−x2\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}/4}} = \frac{1/2}{\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{4 - x^{2}}}.

  2. =14−x2= \frac{1}{\sqrt{4 - x^{2}}}.

Worth noting

24−x2\frac{2}{\sqrt{4 - x^{2}}} multiplies by 2 where the inside contributes 12\frac{1}{2}.
