Solve real-world problems involving conic sections
Remarks
Example: The planet Earth orbits the Sun elliptically, with the sun as one of the foci. Given that the length of the major axis of this ellipse is approximately
miles and the eccentricity of the ellipse is about 0.0167, find the smallest distance and the largest distance of earth from the sun.General Information
