Answer

\(\boxed{\vec{c}_{1}=(1,2,3), R_{1}=3}\) is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 :The equation of a sphere in 3D space is given by \((x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2 = r^2\), where \((a, b, c)\) is the center of the sphere and \(r\) is the radius. By comparing this with the given equation of the sphere \(S_1\), we can directly read off the coordinates of the center and the radius.

Step 2 :The coefficients of \(S_1\) are \([1, 2, 3, 9]\).

Step 3 :So, the center of the sphere \(S_{1}\) is \(\vec{c}_{1}=(1,2,3)\) and the radius \(R_{1}=3\).

Step 4 :\(\boxed{\vec{c}_{1}=(1,2,3), R_{1}=3}\) is the final answer.
