Question

Find the centre and radius of the sphere r2r(4i+2j6k)11=0

Open in App
Solution

Let r=xi+yj+zk, r=x2+y2+z2
r2=x2+y2+z2
r(4i+2j6k)=4x+2y6z
So, r2r(4i+2j6k)11=0
x2+y2+z24x2y+6z11=0
Comparing this equation with x2+y2+z2+2ux+2vy+2wz+d=0, we get
u=2, v=1, w=3 and d=11
centre =(u,v,w)=(2,1,3) and
radius =u2+v2+w2d
=4+1+9(11)=4+1+9+11=25=5.
