2. Assume that the sum is fixed at the point (0,0) in the x,y plane. The path of a comet around the un is given by the equation y = x² - 0.5 in astronomical units. (One astronomical unit is the distance between the sun and the Earth).

a. Use a graphing tool, such as Desmos, to graph the function.

*I have done the part and got the graph*

b. Find the coordinate of the point where the comet is closest to the sun. (Recall that the distance of a coordinate from the origin is given by Pythagoras theorem d = sqrt(x² + y²).

c. If the Earth is at the point (1,0) when the comet passes by, what are the coordinates of the point where the comet is closest to the Earth? (Recall: distance between (x,y) and (x₁,y₁) is d = sqrt((x-x₁)²+(y-y₁)2

Thank you so much and stay safe!
