A.
In the first generation we have 2 ancestors.
In the second generation we have 4 ancestors or

ancestors.
In the third generation we have 8 ancestors ot

ancestors.
We can see that each succesive generation has two times more members. The sum is:

To calculate number of ancestors we can use formula <span>for the sum of a geometric sequence. Geometric sequence is sequence of numbers that differ by a certain factor. This factor is called ratio. Formula is:
</span>

<span>Where:
S -> sum
a1 -> first member of a sequence
r -> ratio
n -> number of elements
For this question:
a1 = 2
r = 2
n = 40
</span>

b.
1 generation = 25 years
40 generations = 40 * 25 = 1000 years
c.
Total number of people who have ever lived = </span>

Number of ancestors in 40 generations =

The number of ancestors is greater than total number of people who have ever lived. This means that not all ancestors were distinct and that in each generation both men and women had children with more than one partner.
Answer:
any number equal to or less than -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 1 < -4
< represents that -4 is a larger number than x - 1. we know that -4 is a negative number, so anything below -4 would be less. x = -4 would be a good solution, but the reality is that any number equal to or less than -4 is the correct answer. I hope this helps!
75% of 225 = 300.
10% = 30
20% = 60
30% = 90
40% = 120
50% = 150
60% = 180
70% = 210
80% = 240
90% = 270

I believe it would be the first choice
Hope that helps!
Answer:
-2 I believe. because the 1st exponent would make it 9, and then you'd remove 2
