r^{2}-10r+25=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
r=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^{2}-4\times 25}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -10 for b, and 25 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
r=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{100-4\times 25}}{2}
Square -10.
r=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{100-100}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 25.
r=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{0}}{2}
Add 100 to -100.
r=-\frac{-10}{2}
Take the square root of 0.
r=\frac{10}{2}
The opposite of -10 is 10.
r=5
Divide 10 by 2.
r^{2}+25-10r=0
Subtract 10r from both sides.
r^{2}-10r=-25
Subtract 25 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
r^{2}-10r+\left(-5\right)^{2}=-25+\left(-5\right)^{2}
Divide -10, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -5. Then add the square of -5 to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
r^{2}-10r+25=-25+25
Square -5.
r^{2}-10r+25=0
Add -25 to 25.
\left(r-5\right)^{2}=0
Factor r^{2}-10r+25. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(r-5\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{0}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
r-5=0 r-5=0
Simplify.
r=5 r=5
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
r=5
The equation is now solved. Solutions are the same.
