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.
