Determine maximum distance from the sun reached by comet


Solve the below problem:

Q: Halley's comment travels in an elongated elliptic orbit for which the minimum distance from the sun is approximately 1/2 rE, where rE = 92.9 * 106 mi is the mean distance from the sun to the earth. Knowing that the periodic time of Halley's comet is about 76 years, determine the maximum distance from the sun reached by the comet.
