Understanding the Equation of a Sphere

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of a sphere given its center and radius. It starts by introducing the general form of a sphere's equation and then demonstrates how to substitute the given center coordinates and radius into this equation. The tutorial further simplifies the equation and presents the final form. It concludes by showing the graph of the sphere and highlighting the center point.
