Geoff planted dahlias in his garden. dahlias have bulbs that divide and reproduce underground. in the first year, Geoff's garden produced 8 bulbs. in the second years, it produced 16 bulbs, and in the third year it produced 32 bulbs. if this pattern continues, how many bulbs should Geoff expect in the sixth year?
A 64 bulbs
B 512 bulbs
C 128 bulbs
D 256 bulbs
You people need to realize that they change the answers! It also depends on what state you are in! Instead of being mean to each other, Write and tell people which state you live in and tell them the date! Stop being immature!
People who put just a b c or d are not trying to be rude, but the teachers switch the answers on the test for each person, so you have to write down the whole answer like haily. You won’t get all the answers, but if enough people do this then you can.
hold it. why is everyone saying asnwers for that state? arent they all the same? if they arent...does anyone have Texas answers?
Yes, D.
ill get them right after i finish the test rn
first 8
second 16 = 8*2
third 32 = 16 * 2
fourth 64 = 32*2
fifth 128 = 64*2
nth 8*2^(n-1)
so
sixth = 8*2^5 = 8*32 = 256
or of course boringly 128 * 2 :) = 256
