Question makes no sense
Explanation:
You can't solve or simply such an equation do you mean differentiate the equation?
Then you have to chain rule it
So now you multiply the two derivatives together

# y = -1/4cos(2x) + C #
Explanation:
We have:
# dy/dx = 1/2sin(2x) #
This is a First Order Separable ODE, so we can "separate the variables" .
# int \ dy = int \ 1/2sin(2x) \ dx #
Both integrals have well known trivial result so we can immediately integrate to get:
# y = 1/2(-cos(2x)/2) + C #
# :. y = -1/4cos(2x) + C #
