Question
The text presents a problem involving level sets and the expansion of perfect squares. Here is the transcription and explanation:

---

**Problem:**

Given the function:

\[ f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 20y \]

1. **Expand \((x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2\)**

2. **Show that for \(k > -125\), the level set \(f(x, y) = k\) is a circle.**

3. **Describe the level set \(f(x, y) = -125\).**

---

**Analysis and Solution:**

1. **Expansion of \((x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2\):**

   \[
   (x - 5)^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25
   \]  
   \[
   (y - 10)^2 = y^2 - 20y + 100
   \]  
   Therefore,  
   \[
   (x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + y^2 - 20y + 100
   \]  
   Simplifying,  
   \[
   = x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 20y + 125
   \]

2. **Show that for \(k > -125\), the level set \(f(x, y) = k\) is a circle:**

   From the expansion in step 1,  
   \[
   f(x, y) = (x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2 - 125
   \]  
   Setting this equal to \(k\),  
   \[
   (x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = k + 125
   \]  
   This is the equation of a circle centered at \((5, 10)\) with radius \(\sqrt{k + 125}\).

3. **Describe the level set \(f(x, y) = -125\):**

   Substituting \(-125\) into the equation,  
   \[
   (x - 5)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 0
   \]  
   This implies
