Question

I really really need help with this please.

Answer 1

The number of ancestors going back through the 5th generation, including Tle-nle and counting Tle-nle as the 1st generation is: 

= 1 + 3 + 3^2 + 3^3 + 3^4
= (3^5 - 1) / (3 - 1)
= 242 / 2
= 121 

Since we included Tle-nle as the 1st generation, we will only compute up to the 4th power. If it is until the 6th generation, add 3^5 to the equation.
