Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

$x^2/4 – y^2 < 1$ We pick the points $(-3,0)$, $(1,0)$, and $(3,0)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $(-3,0)$ $x^2/4 – y^2 < 1$ $(-3)^2/4 –0^2 < 1$ $9/4 -0 <1$ $9/4 < 1$ (false) $(1,0)$ $x^2/4 – y^2 < 1$ $1^2/4 – 0^2 < 1$ $1/4 – 0 <1$ $1/4 < 1$ (true, so we shade the side of the line with this point) $(3,0)$ $x^2/4 – y^2 < 1$ $(3)^2/4 –0^2 < 1$ $9/4 -0 <1$ $9/4 < 1$ (false)
