Answer

The answer is the ability to receive help from a supernatural force.

Explanation
Option 1: The ability to embark on a long journey

While embarking on a long journey is a common trait of epic heroes, this passage specifically highlights a different aspect. The focus here is on the interaction between Gilgamesh and the god Shamash, rather than the journey itself.

Option 2: The ability to receive help from a supernatural force

This passage clearly demonstrates Gilgamesh's ability to receive help from a supernatural force. Gilgamesh prays to Shamash, a god, for protection and guidance. The response from Shamash, urging him to attack Humbaba, indicates divine intervention and support, which is a hallmark of epic heroes.

Option 3: The ability to speak with confidence

While Gilgamesh does speak to Shamash, the passage does not emphasize his confidence in speech. Instead, it highlights his reliance on divine assistance, making this option less relevant to the passage's main theme.

Customers buy 12 units of regular beer and 14 units of light beer monthly. The brewery decides to produce extra beer, beyond that needed to satisfy the customers. The cost per unit of regular beer is 28,000 and the cost per unit of light beer is 47,000. Every unit of regular beer brings in 100,000 in revenue, while every unit of light beer brings in 200,000 in revenue. The brewery wants at least 10,000,000 in revenue. At least 62 additional units of beer can be sold. Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) How much of each type of beer should be made so as to minimize total production costs? Let y1 represent units of regular beer and y2 represent units of light beer. Find the objective function, w, used to minimize production costs. w=28000 y1+47000 y2 The brewery should make units of regular beer and units of light beer so as to minimize total production costs.

The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 3245 grams and a standard deviation of 625 grams. If a newborn baby boy born at the local hospital is randomly selected, find the probability that the weight will be greater than 2620 grams. Round your answer to four decimal places.

The definition of the derivative allows us to define a tangent line precisely. Definition. Let f be a function differentiable at a. The line tangent to the curve y=f(x) at the point (a, f(a)) is the line that passes through the point (a, f(a)) whose slope is equal to f'(a). Naturally, by the point-slope equation of the line, it follows that the tangent line is given by the equation y=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a) Question. Let f be a function given by f(x)=4x-3. What is the instantaneous rate of change of f at a, where a is any real number? The rate of change is given by f'(a), and so is the slope of the tangent line to the curve y=f(x) at the point (a, f(a)). The derivative is the slope of the line y=4x-3 ! Therefore, f'(a)= for all real numbers a. Example. Let f(x)=2x^2+3. Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve y=f(x) at the point (2, f(2)). Explanation. Finding the slope of the tangent line at the point (2, f(2)) means finding f'(2) f'(2)=lim (x -> 2) (f(x)-f(2))/(x-2) Therefore, the slope of the tangent line is f'(2)=lim (x -> 2) (f(x)-f(2))/(x-2)=8
