how do i solve this IVP: y'=y^2 -4

The answer is found here

But I would like to know the processes involved, thanks.

The DE can be written as...

(1)

... so that the variables are 'separable' and the solution is found integrating both terms...

Kind regards

Thank you very much! Much simpler than I thought
