Tofind:The standard form of the equation of sphere with the endpoints of a diameter as

Answer to Problem 63E
The standard form of the equation of sphere with endpoints of the diameter as
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The vertices of endpoints of a diameter are
Calculation:
The general standard form of the equation of sphere is
The center of the sphere is the midpoint of the vertices of endpoints of diameter.
Use the formula for midpoint.
Substitute
So, the center of the sphere is
Use the distance formula for the length of diameter.
Substitute
So, the length of the diameter is
The radius of sphere is half the length of the diameter.
Substitute
Therefore, the standard form of the equation of the sphere with endpoints of the diameter as
