Answer:
x < 3
Step-by-step explanation:

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>

<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.
6x3=18
20-18=2
Therefore the answer is 6 times
A) <span>Scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form:
</span>6 m / 12 m = 1/2
b) <span>Ratio of the areas of the bases of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid:
</span><span>(1/2)^2 = 1/4 </span>
c) <span>Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger:
</span><span>(1/2)^3 = 1/8 </span>
d) <span>Volume of the smaller pyramid:
</span>(1/8) * 400 m^3 = 50 m^3
