So the expansion would be: x^2-x^6/3!+x^10/5! ?

yes but how does the x^2 alter the expansion?

I don't necessarily agree with R remaining as the semi-minor axis because the origin of orbit(now an ellipse) isn't at the previous focus (being the sun). However, could R be given by a-c=R or (semi-major axis)-(distance from origin to focus)=R ?
