the directions say factor

1-10r+25r^2

i got

1r(1)(10r25r^2)

i know i have the problem wrong

so i just need to know how to factor it

any help will be appreciated :)
 
hint: write the trinomial in decending order. Does this look like a trinomial square now?
 
not the answer

this is how it is suppose to be
1-10r+25r^2
1+5*r*2+5^2*r=(5r-1)(5r-) :D
