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.
Answer: y = 2/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
In the formula y=mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We need the slope and y intercept numbers to write the equation. Since we know the slope we will use the given point to find the y intercept by plotting in the x and y coordinates into the formula.
1 = 2/3(-3) + b Solve for b
1= -6/3 + b
1 = -2 + b
+2 +2
b = 3
The equation will be y = 2/3x + 3
Answer:
≈ 12.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
let x be the third side, then
x² + 6² = 14²
x² + 36 = 196 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
x² = 160 ( take the square root of both sides )
x =
≈ 12.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
