To find the equation of the normal to the ellipse at the point (1, 3/2), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the parameters of the ellipse Given the eccentricity \( e = \frac{1}{2} \) and one of the directrices \( x = -4 \), we can find \( a \) (the semi-major axis) using the relationship between the directrix and the eccentricity: \[ -\frac{a}{e} = -4 \implies \frac{a}{\frac{1}{2}} = 4 \implies a = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2. \] ...
