Please write a paragraph describing one way you destress during the Corona-19 pandemic.
Though I have always loved exercise during the pre-pandemic times, the virus has greatly impeded our ability to workout in close quarters. In an effort to maintain a healthy amount of movement, while also protecting myself and others from infection, I have begun hiking! Though masks are still on, hiking the beautiful mountains of South Korea has allowed me to destress in ways I've never imagined before. The fresh breeze, warm sunlight, beautiful leaves, and breath-taking views remind me that no matter how destitute things may seem, there is always wonder within the nature around us.

$$x^{2} + y^{2} - 10x - 4y = -20$$ The equation of a circle in the $$xy$$-plane is shown above. What is the radius of the circle? A) 2 B) 3 C) 7 D) 9
The answer is B. We use the standard form of the equation of a circle, which is $$(x-a)^{2} + (x-b)^{2} = c^{2}$$. $$(a,b)$$ is the center of the circle, and $$c$$ is the radius of the circle. We can now rewrite the given equation in the form of the standard equation to solve this problem: $$x^{2} + y^{2} - 10x - 4y = -20$$ We use the formula for quadratic equations with perfect squares: $$x^{2} - 2ax + a^{2} = (x-a)^{2}$$ Thus, we can rewrite the equation as such: $$(x^{2} - 10x + 25) -25 + (y^{2} - 4y + 4) -4 = -20$$ Notice how we offset the new integers $$+25$$ and $$+4$$ by negating them with $$-25$$ and $$-4$$. We convert the parentheses into squares: $$(x-5)^{2} -25 + (y-2)^{2} -4 = -20$$ We move the integers to the right: $$(x-5)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = 9$$ Since 9 = $$3^{2}$$, we can rewrite the equation as such: $$(x-5)^{2} + (y-2)^{2} = 3^{2}$$ Referring to our standard form of the equation of a circle, we know that the radius is 3!
