Section I: The Sphere


1. Show that the plane 2x − y − 2z = 4 is tangential to the sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2x −

2. Prove that the two spheres x2 + y 2 + z 2 − 2x + 4y − 4z = 0 and x2 + y 2 + z 2 + 10x +


2z + 10 = 0 touch each other externally. Find the point of contact.

3. If the sphere x2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2λx + 3λy + 4λz − 1 − 5λ = 0 cuts the sphere x2 + y 2 +
