Question: help with sphere

Hi all,

 

I need to:

a) Find the equation of the sphere passing through the 4 points [- 8, 3, 11], [5, - 7, 1], [- 15, 4, - 6], [10, 2, 9].  Give the coordinates of its center and its radius.

b) Plot together the sphere of part a along with the 4 points of the dataset.

 

I can't seem to get maple to do this!  I am very frustrated as the sphere command doesn't even seem to work.  I am a total maple n00b as it was required for this class.  Any and all advice would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
