Quadratic equations have two solutions. And the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-r%5B1%5D%29%28x-r%5B2%5D%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "is a general form for quadratic equations where the solutions (\"r%5B1%5D\" and \"r%5B2%5D\") can be seen.

\n" ); document.write( "Sometimes the solution is \"of multiplicity two\". This means that there is just one number that counts twice as a solution. In other \"words\", \"r%5B1%5D+=+r%5B2%5D\". Since your problem claims to have just one solution, 1, it must be a solution of multiplicity two. And the equation would be:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-1%29%28x-1%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "which simplifies to:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-2x+%2B1+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
