Textbook Question

Chapter 26, Problem 58GP

An electronics hobbyist is building a radio set to receive the AM band, with frequencies from 520 kHz to 1700 kHz. The antenna, which also serves as the inductor in an LC circuit, has an inductance of 230 μH. She needs to add a variable capacitor whose capacitance she can adjust to tune the radio. What is the minimum capacitance the capacitor must have? The maximum value?
