I have been given a problem with 4 equations, that need to be matched up to the corresponding image. I have worked the equations already and determined their center, but for the life of me I cannot seem to figure out which graph goes with which equation. The images are not that easy to read which is most of my issue. Here is an example:
[FONT=MathJax_Math]x[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]2[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]−[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]4[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]x[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]+[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]y[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]2[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]−[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]4[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]y[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]+[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]z[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]2[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]−[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]2[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]z = -35/4[/FONT]
[FONT=MathJax_Math](x-2)^2 +4 (y-2)^2 +4 (z-1)^2 +1 = -35/4
[FONT=MathJax_Math](x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 + (z-1)^2 + 9 = -35/4[/FONT]
[/FONT]
This would give me a center of (2,2,1). However, none of the spheres I am provided appear to match this. Am I blind or does my math appear to be off?
