Answer

$ \quad \displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{4}+(y-1)^{2}=1$

Work Step by Step

1.$ \quad $Major axis: parallel to $x$ -axis$ \quad \Rightarrow \quad $see table 3 $ \displaystyle \frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, \quad a \gt b \gt 0$ 2.$ \quad $ Center: $(0,1)$ 3.$ \quad 2a=4 \quad $ (Length of major axis)$ \quad a=2$ 4.$ \quad 2b=1 \quad $ (Length of minor axis)$ \quad b=1$ Equation:$ \quad \displaystyle \frac{(x-0)^{2}}{4}+\frac{(y-1)^{2}}{1}=1$ or $ \quad \displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{4}+(y-1)^{2}=1$
