Answer

Radius: $4$ and Center: $C(1,3,-2)$

Work Step by Step

The general equation of sphere with center $C(p,q,r)$ and radius $R$ is given by: $(x-p)^2+(y-q)^2+(z-r)^2=R^2$ ...(1) Here, we have $x^2+y^2+z^2-2x-6y+4z=2$ $(x^2-2x+1)^2+(y^2-6y+9)^2+(z^2+4z+4)=2+1+9+4$ or, $(x-1)^2+(y-3)^2+(z+2)^2=16$ or, $(x-1)^2+(y-3)^2+(z-(-2))^2=16$ On comparing the above equation with the equation (1), we get Radius $R=\sqrt {16}=4$ and Center: $C(1,3,-2)$
