Hence simwt $=\frac{x}{2}$
$\cos \omega t=\frac{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}{2}$
$y=2 \sin \omega t+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \cos \omega$ ltbgt $=\sqrt{2} \times \frac{x}{2}+\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}{2}$
$=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}+\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
or $\sqrt{2} y-x=\sqrt{4-x^{2}}$
or $2 y^{2}+x^{2}-x y=4-x^{2}$
or $2 y^{2}+2 x^{2}-x y=4$
or $x^{2}+y^{2}-\sqrt{2} x y=2$
This is an equation of ellipse.
