An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle (x−1)2+y2=1(x-1)^2+y^2=1(x−1)2+y2=1 as its semiminor axis and a diameter of the circle x2+(y−2)2=4x^2+(y-2)^2=4x2+(y−2)2=4 as its semi-major axis. If the centre of the ellipse is the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes, then the equation of the ellipse is
