Explanation:
Third side of triangle = perimeter – sum of two other sides
= (4x2 – 2x + 3) – [(2x2 + 4x + 7) + (3x2 – 4x - 1)]
= 4x2 – 2x + 3 - 5x2 – 6
= -x2 – 2x - 3

16. The greatest number from 82, 28, 23, 32 is

(a) 82 (b) 28
(c) 53 (d) 34
 Answer.(c)
28 = 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 ´ 2 = 256

53 = 5 ´ 5 ´ 5 = 125

34 = 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 = 81

256 > 125 > 81> 64

28 > 53 > 34 > 82

Hence, 28 is the greatest one.

24. Which one from the following is not the law of exponent

1
(a) x m ´ x n = x m + n (b) = x-m
xm

(c) x m ÷ x n = x m ÷n (d) ( x m ) n = x mn

Answer. (c) Because as per third law of exponent, that is division law says,

x m ÷ x n = x m-n .

Hence option (c) is wrong.
