Question
Find an equation of the sphere with center $C$ and radius $r$.$$C(-5,0,1): \quad r=\frac{1}{2}$$
Step 1
The equation of a sphere in three dimensions is given by: \[ (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2 = r^2 \] where $(a, b, c)$ are the coordinates of the center of the sphere and $r$ is the radius of the sphere. Show more…
