![### Problem Statement
Find the point on the sphere \( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16 \) farthest from the point \((-1, -1, 1)\).
### Solution
The point is \(\left( \_\_, \_\_, \_\_ \right)\). (Type an ordered triple.)
---
This problem is centered on identifying the point on a given sphere that is the greatest distance away from a specified point in three-dimensional space. The equation of the sphere \( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16 \) represents a sphere centered at the origin \((0,0,0)\) with a radius of 4 units. The specific point from which the distance is to be maximized is \((-1, -1, 1)\). To find the farthest point, one typically needs to apply concepts from calculus or geometry, such as the dot product in vector mathematics or the use of Lagrange multipliers.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc1840ebe-b0df-4fe8-9210-d8e3dcfa32cc%2Fd7708c38-f232-49e3-b885-f0585f5da7e0%2Fdsrljjw_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
