The extremities of adiameter of a sphere lie on the positive y- and positive z-axes at distance 2and 4, respectively. Show that the sphere passes through the origin and findthe radius of the sphere. |
Answer» We are given the extremities of the diameter as (0, 2, 0) and (0, 0, 4). Therefore, the equation of the sphere is `(x-0)(x-0)+(y-2)(y-0)+ (z-0)(z-4)=0` `or x^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)-2y-4x=0`. This sphere clearly passes through the origin. |
