Chapter 11, Problem 52

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the equation

\(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+G x+H y+l z+J=0\)

and let \(\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{G}^{2}+\mathrm{H}^{2}+\mathrm{I}^{2}-4 \mathrm{J}\).

(a) Prove that the equation represents a sphere if \(\mathrm{K}>0\), a point if \(K=0\), and has no graph if\(\mathrm{K}<0\).

(b) In the case where \(\mathrm{K}>0\), find the center and radius of the sphere.

Equation Transcription:

K > 0

K = 0

K < 0

Text Transcription:

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + Gx + Hy + Iz + J = 0

K = G^2 + H^2 + I^2 − 4J

K > 0

K = 0

K < 0
