Geoff's garden produced 4 bulbs in the first year, 8 bulbs in the second year (double of the first year), and 16 bulbs in the third year (double of the second year).
This shows a pattern of the number of bulbs doubling each year.
Following this pattern, in the tenth year, Geoff should expect 16 doubled ten times, which equals:
16 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 1,024 bulbs
Therefore, Geoff should expect 1,024 bulbs in the tenth year.
