Identify the centre and radius of the sphere given by .
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Centre and radius , after completing the squares
- Step 1: Complete the square for each variable: . Step 2. Move constants to the right: . Step 3. Standard form gives centre and radius . **Answer: Centre and radius , after completing the squares. Why not the others:** inverts the signs of the coordinates; forgets the square root; takes the linear coefficients directly.
