Question
Find an equation of the sphere with center $C$ and radius $r$.$$C(4,-5,1) ; \quad r=5$$
Step 1
Step 1: The general equation of a sphere 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…
