Answer

$x^{2}-10x+25$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of a polynomial is $a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{1}x+a_{0}$ (written in order, highest degree first. If a term is missing, it means that the coefficient is 0) --- Use the perfect square formula $(A-B)^{2}=A^{2}-2AB+B^{2}$ $(x-5)^{2}=x^{2}-2\cdot x\cdot 5+5^{2}$ = $x^{2}-10x+25$
