$x^{2} + 3 y^{2} = 4$

Step 1

Divide each term by $4$ to make the right side equal to one.

$\frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{3 y^{2}}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$

Step 2

Simplify each term in the equation in order to set the right side equal to $1$ . The standard form of an ellipse or hyperbola requires the right side of the equation be $1$ .

$\frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{y^{2}}{\frac{4}{3}} = 1$
