The orbit of an asteroid is an ellipse with the Sun as a

The orbit of an asteroid is an ellipse with the Sun as a focus. If the center of the ellipse is at the origin, an approximate equation for the orbit is shown below, where x and y are measured in millions of miles. Find the largest possible distance across the ellipse. x²/5309 + y/4933 = 1 million miles (Simplify your answer. Round to the nearest million miles as needed.)
