A natural number is a positive integer, example, 1,2,5,299 etc.
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of integers, such as 245/127, 1/2, 5/1,8/1,...
Since a natural number can be expressed as a fraction of integers, so
a natural number IS a rational number.
Given:
The expression is:

To find:
Part A: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 23.
Part B: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 3.
Solution:
Part A:
In option A,

[Using BODMAS]

In option B,

[Using BODMAS]

In option C,


In option D,

[Using BODMAS]

After the calculation, we have
and
.
Therefore, the correct options are B and D.
Part B: From part A, it is clear that

Therefore, the correct option is C.

add 1,500 plus 15 plus 5
Answer:
1. 
2. 3.2362
3. 
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Cot is the trigonometric ratio defined by "adjacent" over "opposite". <em>So, adjacent = 2 and opposite = 3.</em>
By pythagorean theorem, we have the "hypotenuse" as 
Csc is defined as the trig ratio "hypotenuse" over "opposite". <em>We know the sides, so Csc
=
</em>
<em />
<em>First answer choice is right.</em>
<em />
2.
By definition, Csc
is the inverse of Sine
. <em>If given the value of sin theta, to find value of csc theta, we take the reciprocal of it. Hence:</em>

Third answer choice is right.
3.
By definition tan and cot are inverse of each other. <em>So the value of tan is the reciprocal of the value of cot.</em> We can simply "flip" the value of tan theta to get the value of cot theta. Hence:

Third answer is right.
