1. Problem Description
Given the points , and in a coordinate system with positive orientation . The problem asks to:
a) Find the points , , and .
b) Find the coordinates of vectors , and .
c) Calculate and determine if triangle is a right triangle.
d) Find the general equation of the sphere with center that passes through .
e) Additional question related to the circle described by the vector
2. Solution Steps
a) The points are given as , , and .
b) Find the coordinates of vectors , and .
c) Calculate and determine if triangle is a right triangle.
Since , the vectors and are not orthogonal. So, the angle at vertex is not a right angle.
Let's check . So the angle at is not a right angle.
Let's check . So the angle at is not a right angle.
Therefore, triangle is not a right triangle.
d) Find the general equation of the sphere with center that passes through .
The center of the sphere is .
The radius of the sphere is the distance between and .
The equation of the sphere with center and radius is .
In this case, the equation of the sphere is .
Expanding this gives:
e) Additional question related to the circle described by the vector . This part requires further clarification of the question. The circle does not relate to a vector . Vector is a line from to . A circle requires a center and a radius, both of which are not indicated clearly in this prompt.
3. Final Answer
a) , ,
b) , ,
c) . Triangle is not a right triangle.
d)
e) Insufficient information is provided.
