the sphere S with centre M (4 ,3 ,1) and radius r  3 ,
the point P (6, 5, 2) and
the plane  : 2 x  2 y  z  24  0.
Show that the plane  is tangential to the sphere S at the point P. 5 marks

Let us show that P is the point of tangency:
P  as 2  6  2  5  2  24  0 and
P S as MP  (6  4)2  (5  3)2  (2  1)2  4  4  1  3  r.
Hence  is tangential to S at P.
 is tangential to S: 3 marks
P is the point of tangency: 2 marks.

Method 2
First, we show that P is a common point of  and S:
P  as 2  6  2  5  2  24  0 and
P S as MP  (6  4)2  (5  3)2  (2  1)2  4  4  1  3  r.
Then we show that the vector is orthogonal to the plane :

is indeed a normal vector to the plane .

Hence  is tangential to S at P.
