Answer:

262 144

Step-by-step explanation:

At each round, there are four times more people reposting the joke. Therefore, we have 4^{9} = 262 144 people reposting the joke on ninth round.

Answer:

65536 (people)

Step-by-step explanation:

Each new count is found by multiplying the previous one by 4.  This is a geometric sequence.  The general geometric sequence model a(n) = a(1)*r^(n -1) becomes

a(n) = 1*4^(n - 1)

On the 9th round, a(9) people will post the joke:

a(9) = 1*4^(9 - 1) = 65536 (people)
