The exponent in the equation is the 5.
A = 6
B = 9
C = 15
D = ?
From A to B, 6 + 3 = 9
From B to C, 9 + 6 = 15
From C to D, 9 + x = ?
The first time, you added 3, for the second time, you added three to the three you are adding, making it 6. So for x, x = 6 + 3, which = 9
9 + 9 = 18
D = 18 should be your answer
hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:
<span>PAPER MONEY.
As wealth increases, owning a large number of gold and silver coins becomes a security problem. As coins are portable, they are also easy to steal. The next step in the development of money was for people to leave their surplus gold and silver coins with a goldsmith who had a reputation for honesty and who operated premises which were secure. The goldsmith would give a receipt, which would entitle the owner to withdraw their coins when they needed them. This was the beginning of paper money.</span>
We know that
The range<span> of a function is the complete set of all possible </span>resulting values<span> of the dependent variable (</span><span>y, </span><span>usually), after we have substituted the domain</span>
case a) <span>f(x) = + 6
the range is 6
case b) </span><span>f(x) > –8
the range is the interval (-8,</span>∞)
case c) <span>f(x) > –6
</span>the range is the interval (-6,∞)
case d) <span>f(x) > 6
</span>the range is the interval (6,∞)
case e) <span>f(x) > 8
</span>the range is the interval (8,∞)
