This is just one of many possible solutions:

number_of_dots = 1
print(number_of_dots)
number_of_dots = number_of_dots * 2
print(number_of_dots)
number_of_dots = number_of_dots * 2
print(number_of_dots)
number_of_dots = number_of_dots * 2
print(number_of_dots)
number_of_dots = number_of_dots * 2
print(number_of_dots)
