Given:

x2+4y44=0x^2+4y^4-4=0

We need to determine whether the given equation belongs to an ellipse.

Standard form of the equation of an ellipse (0<b<a0<b<a):

(xh)2a2+(yk)2b2=1Horizontal major axis(xh)2b2+(yk)2a2=1Vertical major axis\begin{aligned} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}&=1 &\textcolor{#4559AC}{\text{Horizontal major axis}} \\ \frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}&=1 &\textcolor{#4559AC}{\text{Vertical major axis}} \end{aligned}
