Write an equation that relates the number of bottles to the total volume of water.

V = 17n

Step-by-step explanation:

Elena has some bottles of water that each hold 17 fluid ounces.

Let n = number of bottles, in fluid ounces.

Let V = volume of water.

V = 17n

This means that for every bottle, there will be 17 more fluid ounces of total volume of water.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
