Find an equation of the largest sphere with center (6,3,9) contained in first octant?

So I'm getting this, is this right?

(x-6)^2+(y-3)^2+(z-9)^2 = 3^2 = 9

    If the sphere has points that are on the octant boundaries (such as (6, 0, 9) which would be on your sphere), are those points contained in the first octant? If so, I'd agree with you but if not, you can't write its equation because you'd need < not =.
