Step 1.2.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\cos (y) \frac{d y}{d x} = \cos (y) \frac{2}{\cos (y)}$

Step 1.2.2

Rewrite the expression.

$\cos (y) \frac{d y}{d x} = 2$

Step 1.3

Rewrite the equation.

$\cos (y) d y = 2 d x$

Step 2

Integrate both sides.

Step 2.1

Set up an integral on each side.

$\int \cos (y) d y = \int 2 d x$

Step 2.2

The integral of $\cos (y)$ with respect to $y$ is $\sin (y)$ .

$\sin (y) + C_{1} = \int 2 d x$

Step 2.3

Apply the constant rule.

$\sin (y) + C_{1} = 2 x + C_{2}$

Step 2.4

Group the constant of integration on the right side as $K$ .

$\sin (y) = 2 x + K$

Step 3

Solve for $y$ .

Step 3.1

Reorder $2 x$ and $K$ .

$\sin (y) = K + 2 x$

Step 3.2

Take the inverse sine of both sides of the equation to extract $y$ from inside the sine.

$y = \arcsin (K + 2 x)$
