Identify vertex form: Identify the vertex form of a parabola, which is y=a(x−h)2+k.
Given equation analysis: Look at the given equation y=x2−10x+25. Notice that the constant term is 25.
Calculate half square: Calculate the square of half the linear coefficient: (−210)2=(−5)2=25.
Recognize perfect trinomial: Recognize that the right side of y=x2−10x+25 is a perfect square trinomial because the constant term is the square of half the linear coefficient.
Rewrite in vertex form: Rewrite the equation in vertex form by completing the square: y=(x−5)2.
