A little rusty, but looks like a clean separation of variables problem, so just move the y terms to one side, the x terms to the other, and integrate both sides. I assume you have additional information to solve for the integration constant which appears.

1/y^2 * dy = -4(cosx)^2 * dx
- 1/y = -4 * (x/2 + sin2x/4) + C
or 1/y = 2x + sin2x + C

So plug in the IVP values of y and x to solve for C.
