7. (a) Express \(\frac { 2 } { 4 - y ^ { 2 } }\) in partial fractions.
(b) Hence obtain the solution of $$2 \cot x \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \left( 4 - y ^ { 2 } \right)$$ for which \(y = 0\) at \(x = \frac { \pi } { 3 }\), giving your answer in the form \(\sec ^ { 2 } x = \mathrm { g } ( y )\).
