Find an equation of the sphere that passes through the point (7, 4, -6) and has center (4, 7, 6). Recall that the equation of a sphere with radius r and center (a, b, c) is given by (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 + (z - c)^2 = r^2. If the sphere passes through (7, 4, -6) and has center (4, 7, 6), then its radius is the distance between these two points. Therefore, r = sqrt((4 - 7)^2 + (7 - 4)^2 + (6 - (-6))^2) = sqrt(9 + 9 + 144) = sqrt(162). Substituting this radius and the given center into the equation of a sphere, we therefore conclude that the equation of the given sphere is as follows.
