Answer

$(-7,-2,-7); (\dfrac{19}{3}, \dfrac{14}{3},\dfrac{19}{3})$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate normal line equation is: $\dfrac{(x_2-x_1)}{f_x(x_1,y_1,z_1)}=\dfrac{(y_2-y_1)}{f_y(x_1,y_1,z_1)}=\dfrac{(z_2-z_1)}{f_x(x_1,y_1,z_1)}$ At point$(1,2,1)$ $\dfrac{(x-1)}{8}=\dfrac{(y-2)}{4}=\dfrac{(z-1)}{8}$ Consider $\dfrac{(x-1)}{8}=\dfrac{(y-2)}{4}=\dfrac{(z-1)}{8}=k$ Therefore, $x=1+8k;y=2+4k,z=1+8k$ Plug these values into the equation of the sphere: : $x^2+y^2+z^2=102$ After simplifications we get $t=-1,\dfrac{2}{3}$ The desired points are: $(-7,-2,-7); (\dfrac{19}{3}, \dfrac{14}{3},\dfrac{19}{3})$
