Answer

The set includes all the points inside the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+y^2 = 1$ Note that the points on the ellipse are also included in the set.

Work Step by Step

$\{(x,y)\vert~x^2+4y^2 \leq 4 ~\}$ $x^2+4y^2 = 4$ $\frac{x^2}{4}+y^2 = 1$ We can write the general form of an ellipse: $\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$ The equation in the question is an equation of an ellipse, where $a = 2, b = 1, h = 0,$ and $k = 0$ The set includes all the points inside the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+y^2 = 1$ Note that the points on the ellipse are also included in the set.
