Show that p-1 is a factor of p^10 + p^8+ p ^6 - p^4 - p^2 -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1¹⁰ + 1⁸ + 1⁶ - 1⁴ - 1² - 1 = 0.

Hence by Factor Theorem, (p - 1) is a factor of the polynomial.

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.
