Write the equation of the sphere in standard form. x2 + y2 + z2 + 8x − 6y + 2z + 17 = 0

The given equation of sphere is:

Regrouping the variables together,

We will use completing the square method, in this method we will consider the coefficients of x, y and z individually, then we will divide the coefficients by 2. Further, we will square the number obtained after dividing. At last we will add and subtract the number obtained.

is the standard form of the sphere with center and radius as 3.

i can't see the picture : /

constants mean the stopped points or the points on a graph that nothing is changing, hope this
