The NBA league exhibits more competitive balance.

The chance that each team in a league has of winning the title is referred to as competitive balance. The championship would be won by each team on a regular basis in an ideal competitive environment. In contrast, if there was no balance between the two types of competition, the same team would consistently prevail.

Competitive balance is often regarded as a desirable trait because too much predictability makes fans of the lesser franchises angry and fans of the defending champions complacent, which lowers interest in the sport as a whole.

The "Noll-Scully" measure is the competitive balancing metric that is most frequently used in sports. The winning percentage of each league team's standard deviation (SD) is used to compute it. The SD is then divided by what it would be if all teams had equal talent and the outcomes were entirely random.

For NBA team, competitive balance = 0.134/32*82 = 0.343

For EPL team, competitive balance = 0.158/20*38 = 0.30

The matricial equation of the degenerate parabola is [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}x'\\y'\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot x + \frac{1}{8}\cdot x^{2}+1 \\\-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot x + \frac{1}{8}\cdot x^{2} + 1 \end{array}\right][/tex].

A parabola is degenerated when its axis of symmetry is not parallel to any orthogonal axis (i.e. x, y). First, we have to find an "equivalent" parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and whose vertex is along that axis.

Direction of the degenerate parabola

[tex]\tan \theta = \frac{2 - 1}{2 - 1}[/tex]

tan θ = 1

θ = 45°

This means that the degenerate parabola must be rotated 45° clockwise (- 45°) around the origin with respect to the "equivalent" parabola.

Distance from the vertex to the focus

[tex]p = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^{2}+(2 - 1)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]p = \sqrt{2}[/tex]

Vertex of the "equivalent" parabola

[tex](h', k') = (0, \sqrt{2})[/tex]

Equation of the "equivalent" parabola

[tex]y = \frac{1}{4\cdot p}\cdot x^{2} + k'[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}\cdot x^{2}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now we apply following rotation formula:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos (-45^{\circ})&-\sin (-45^{\circ})\\\sin (-45^{\circ})&\cos (-45^{\circ})\end{array}\right] \cdot \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}\cdot x^{2}+\sqrt{2}} \end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}x'\\y'\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot x + \frac{1}{8}\cdot x^{2}+1 \\\-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot x + \frac{1}{8}\cdot x^{2} + 1 \end{array}\right][/tex]

There is no such value of 'a' such that f(x) = 9x² + 4 and g(x) = (3x - a)² are equivalent.

Two polynomials are said to be equivalent only when the coefficients of all powers of x are equal for both the polynomials.

In the question, we are asked is there a value of 'a' such that f(x) = 9x² + 4 and g(x) = (3x - a)² are equivalent.

We know that two polynomials are said to be equivalent only when the coefficients of all powers of x are equal for both the polynomials.

Thus to check, we expand g(x), using the formula (p - q)² = p² + q² - 2pq.

g(x) = (3x - a)²,

or, g(x) = (3x)² + (a)² - 2(3x)(a),

or, g(x) = 9x² + a² - 6ax.

For f(x) = 9x² - 4, and g(x) = (3x - a)² to be equivalent,

As we need two different values of, 'a' at the same time, which ain't possible, thus we can say that there is no such value of 'a' such that f(x) = 9x² + 4 and g(x) = (3x - a)² are equivalent.

Yes, (3, -2) is a solution for the linear system y = 2x - 8 and 2x + 4y = -2

In mathematics, the theory of linear systems is the foundation and core part of linear algebra, a subject that is used in most parts of modern mathematics. When the number of equations is the same as the number of variables, there is likely to be a solution. Not guaranteed, but likely.

If there is no solution, the equations are called "inconsistent".

One or infinitely many solutions are called "consistent"

In mathematics, a system of linear equations is a set of one or more linear equations involving the same variables

We need to find whether (3, -2) is a solution for the linear system y = 2x - 8 and 2x + 4y = -2 or not

Let y = 2x - 8.......(1)

From equation (1) we get, y - 2x = -8.....(2)

2x + 4y = -2.........(3)

Put (3,-2) in equation (2) , we get

-2 - 2(3) = -2 -6 = -8

LHS = RHS

Put (3,-2) in equation (3) , we get

2(3) + 4(-2) = 6 - 8 = -2

LHS = RHS

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + w)

Where l is the length

and w is the width

From the given information,

Perimeter = 24 cm

In the given diagram,

l = 3x cm

w = 3 cm

Thus,

24 = 2(3x + 3)

24 = 6x + 6

6x = 24 - 6

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

Hence, the value of x is 3. The correct option is the third option- 3

14.

From the given information,

The width of the yard is 3 less than 4 times the length

That is,

w = 4l - 3 --------- (1)

Also,

Perimeter = 24 yards

∴ 24 = 2(l + w) ---------- (2)

Put equation (1) into (2)

24 = 2(l + w)

24 = 2(l + 4l - 3)

24 = 2(5l - 3)

24 = 10l - 6

10l = 24 + 6

10l = 30

l = 30/10

l = 3 yards

Substitute the value of l into equation (1) to get w

w = 4l - 3

w = 4(3) - 3

w = 12 - 3

w = 9 yards

In this problem we have a piecewise defined function formed by three functions: (i) Linear equation, (ii) Quadratic equation, (iii) Linear equation. The first function is y = 40, for 0 ≤ x < 15.

The second function can be found based on the knowledge of three points:

y = a · x² + b · x + c

(x₁, y₁) = (15, 40)

40 = 225 · a + 15 · b + c

(x₂, y₂) = (45, 2.5)

2.5 = 2025 · a + 45 · b + c

(x₃, y₃) = (65, 20)

20 = 4225 · a + 65 · b + c

And the quadratic equation is y = 0.0425 · x² - 3.8 · x + 87.438, for 15 ≤ x < 65.

And the latter linear equation is:

y = m · x + b

m = (30 - 20)/(90 - 65)

m = 0.4

And the x-intercept is:

b = y - m · x

b = 20 - 0.4 · 65

b = - 6

The linear equation is y = 0.4 · x - 6, for x ≥ 65.

The piecewise defined function is formed by the following three functions: y = 40, for 0 ≤ x < 15, y = 0.0425 · x² - 3.8 · x + 87.438, for 15 ≤ x < 65 and y = 0.4 · x - 6, for x ≥ 65.
