Infinite separation of earth and satellite


A satellite is positioned in a noncircular orbit about the Earth. The farthest point of its orbit (apogee) is 3.0 Earth radii from the center of the Earth, while its closest point (perigee) is 2.1 Earth radii from the Earth's center. When we define the gravitational potential energy U to be zero for an infinite separation of Earth and satellite, determine the ratio?
