How did the symbolism of the events of the new year's festival, with its ritual reading and recreation of the story of the creation myth, validate such concepts as kingship, the primacy of babylon, and mankind's rela- tionship to the gods?

The creation Myth during the New Year's Festival humbles the kings. The recreation story teaches the kings that without their crown or their royal robes, they are just like the common people. Many people also considered this event as a way to speak out for the king's lapses as well as the other needs that have to be addressed.

Ithink the answer is c hope i

You need to figure out at which x-value does the graph has a tangent line slope of -1.remember, the derivative is the slope of the tangent line. so find the derivative function and set it to equal -1 to find the x-value that will have a tangent line slope of 0.differentiate with the chain rule.    set the derivative to equal -1 and solve for x.      take log base 10 of both sides. also recall that  .    so the x-coord of the point of tangency is .the y-coordinate of this point of tangency can be calculated using the original function:     using point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is      the x-intercept of this tangent line is when the graph is at y=0.    this rounds off to  .choice c.
