Answer

The surface corresponds to a sphere of radius $r=7$ and is concentrated at $C(-5,-2,-1)$

Work Step by Step

There is given a surface \[ 0=10 x+4 y+2 z-19+x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2} \] By completing squares: \[ \begin{aligned} &0= 4 y+2 z-19+10 x+ x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\\ \Rightarrow &\left(2 z+1+z^{2}\right)-25-4-1-19+\left(25+ 10 x+x^{2}\right)+\left(4+4y+y^{2}\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow &49=(2+y)^{2}+(1+z)^{2}+(5+x)^{2} \\ \Rightarrow &7^{2}=(1+z)^{2}+(2+y)^{2}+(5+x)^{2} \end{aligned} \] This surface corresponds to a sphere of radius $r=7$ and is concentrated at \[ C(-5,-2,-1) \]
