The minimum distance between the asteroid and the sun is 10 - 6 =4
The given hyperbolic path defined as
divide both the sides by 576,
The general equation of
hyperbola is written as
;
Compare with above mention equation
Here
The distance between the asteroid and the sun is seen by figure -1
or
⇒c =10
The minimum distance between the asteroid and the sun is 10 -6 =4
