no, it is not. How many times are you going to ask? I answered it just below.

To answer the question, we need to look for a pattern in the number of bottles brewed each day.
On Monday, Sheldon brewed 1 bottle. On Tuesday, he brewed 4 bottles, an increase of 3 bottles from the previous day. On Wednesday, he brewed 9 bottles, an increase of 5 bottles from the previous day. On Thursday, he brewed 16 bottles, an increase of 7 bottles from the previous day.
From this pattern, we can determine that each day, the number of bottles brewed increases by 2 more than the previous day.
To find out how many bottles Sheldon brewed on Friday, we can continue the pattern. On Thursday, he brewed 16 bottles, so on Friday, the number of bottles would increase by 9 (16 + 2).
Therefore, the number of bottles Sheldon brewed on Friday would be 25 (16 + 9), not 30.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
