Geoff planted dahlias in his garden. Dahlias have bullbs that dvide and reproduce underground. in the first year, geoff's garden produced 4 bulbs. in the second year it produced 8 bulbs and in the third year it produced 16 bulbs. if this pattern continues how many bulbs should geoff expect in the tenth year?

apparently, in the nth year, it produces 2*2^n bulbs, so ...
Bulbs = 2^(n+1). n = The number of years.
In the 10th year: Bulbs = 2^(10+1) = 2^11.
bulbs = 2^n+1)
In the 10th year: Bulbs = 2^(10+1) = 2^11.
bulbs = 2^n+1)
