If they "force" you to use a certain method they must provide enough details for you to discern what the method is, and then it becomes easier (e.g they cannot say using complex numbers integrate etc)
Yeah, I know. Just would be interesting to see them throw it at us.

I have a bunch of smarter math papers from past hsc exams that I'm planning to complete a second time.

Is there actually a way of solving the intersection between 2 spheres using vectors?

Convert to Cartesian and equate to find values of X, Y and Z
Yes but strictly speaking that isn't a vector method.

Also sometimes it gets really ugly?

E.g (x-1)^2+(y)^2+z^2=25
And (x-2)^2 (y+2)^2+(z+1)^2= 36 would be extremely hard to solve

Yeah. Sadly ugly just happens sometimes. Not sure how you’d use vectors, however there is a method I would recommend. Finding the ratio of r1 to r1 you can find the perpendicular line that separates the circles in the ratio r1:r2 or something along those lines. Would be a lot easier with working paper 😂
