Answer

Center: $(-2,0,2 )$ and radius: $\sqrt 8$

Work Step by Step

We know that the standard equation of a sphere is written as: $(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2+(z-z_0)^2=r^2\ \ \ $ (1) Here, $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ represents the center and $r$ is the radius of the sphere. Since, we have $x^2+y^2+z^2+4x-4z=0$ or, $x^2+4x+y^2+z^2-4z=0$ or, $(x - 2)^2+y^2+(z - 2)^2=4+4$ or, $(x - 2)^2+y^2+(z - 2)^2=8$ or, or, $(x -(- 2))^2+y^2+(z - 2)^2=(\sqrt 8)^2$ Compare the above equation with equation (1), we get Center: $(-2,0,2 )$ and radius: $\sqrt 8$
