problem

Let mm be a constant not equal to 00 or 1.1. Then the graph of x2+my2=4x^2 + my^2 = 4is a conic section with two foci. Find all values of mm such that the foci both lie on the circle x2+y2=16.x^2+y^2=16. Enter all possible values of m,m, separated by commas.

Let m be a constant not equal to 0 or 1. Then the graph of x²+my²=4is a conic section with two foci. Find all values of m such that the foci both lie on the circle x²+y²=16.

Enter all possible values of m, separated by commas.
Original LaTeX notation
Let $m$ be a constant not equal to $0$ or $1.$ Then the graph of \[x^2 + my^2 = 4\]is a conic section with two foci. Find all values of $m$ such that the foci both lie on the circle $x^2+y^2=16.$

Enter all possible values of $m,$ separated by commas.
