Chapter 7.2, Problem 85E

Solve each problem.

Comet Hale-Bopp Comet Hale-Bopp, which was clearly seen in April of 1997, orbits the sun in an elliptical orbit every 4200 years. At perihelion, the closest point to the sun, the comet is approximately 1 AU from the sun, as shown in the accompanying figure. At aphelion, the farthest point from the sun, the comet is 520 AU from the sun. Find the equation of the ellipse. What is the eccentricity of the orbit?
