Problem B7: A planet is orbiting a star of mass M. The orbit of the planet is an ellipse. The maximum distance from the sun during the elliptical orbit is n1r, and the minimum distance from the sun is n2. If the speed squared at the maximum distance is v12=GM/(n3r), what is n3? Note that all the integers are unitless.

n1 = n2 = Input n3:
