Name three things that can be easily identified by the equation of a parabola in vertex form

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8
