    Find the equation of the sphere having centre (-1,2,-3) and the radius of 3 units.
    Question

    Find the equation of the sphere having centre (-1,2,-3) and the radius of 3 units.

    A.

    x² + y² +z²-2x + 4y - 6z + 5 = 0

    B.

    x² + y²+z²+x-2y + 3z + 5 = 0

    C.

    x² + y² + z²+2x - 4y + 6z + 5 = 0

    D.

    x²+ y²+ z²- x + 2y - 3z + 5 = 0

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Centre o sphere =(-1,2,-3)
    Radius = 3units
    Formula Used:
    Equation of sphere = (xa)2+(xb)2+(xc)2=r2(x-a)^2 +(x-b)^2+(x-c)^2 =r^2​​
    Where a, b, c are co-ordinates and r is radius
    Solution:
    Centre is (-1,2,-3)
    (x(1))2+(y(2))2+(z(3))2=32 =(x+1)2+(y(2))2+(z+3)2=32 =x2+12+2x+y2+224y+z2+32+6z=9 =x2+1+2x+y2+44y+z2+9+6z=9 =x2+y2+z2+2x4y+6z+5=0(x-(-1))^2 +(y-(2))^2+(z-(-3))^2 =3^2 \\\ \\=(x+1)^2 +(y-(2))^2+(z+3)^2 =3^2 \\\ \\= x^2 +1^2 +2x +y^2 +2^2 -4y +z^2 +3^2+ 6z =9 \\\ \\= x^2 +1 +2x +y^2 +4 -4y +z^2 +9+ 6z =9 \\\ \\= x^2+y^2 +z^2 +2x -4y+ 6z +5 =0​​
