Solve by completing the square

Your answers would be:

x = 10 and x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the zeros:

x² - 2x - 78 = 2

Subtract both sides by 2.

x² - 2x - 80 = 0

Use the quadratic formula:

a = 1

b = -2

c = -80

Plug in and solve:

Solve for +:

Solve for -:

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.
