X=9 this is the answer for question 19
The order of operations is used to order numerical expressions
You didn't include how many gallons each container of bleach has, so I'm just going assume one container has a gallon inside. if 5% of one gallon is active Ingredients, and there are 10 gallons, then that's 1,000%. (one gal = 100%. 100x10= 1,000) 5 x 10= 50, so 50% of 1,000% is active ingredients, which can be simplified to 5% anyway, so 5%
Yes, we can obtain a diagonal matrix by multiplying two non diagonal matrix.
Consider the matrix multiplication below
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}e&f\\g&h\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}a e+b g&a f+b h\\c e+d g&c f+d h\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%26b%5C%5Cc%26d%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7De%26f%5C%5Cg%26h%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Da%20e%2Bb%20g%26a%20f%2Bb%20h%5C%5Cc%20e%2Bd%20g%26c%20f%2Bd%20h%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20)
For the product to be a diagonal matrix,
a f + b h = 0 ⇒ a f = -b h
and c e + d g = 0 ⇒ c e = -d g
Consider the following sets of values

The the matrix product becomes:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{3}&-1\\-\frac{1}{4}&\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}&-1+1\\1-1&-3+2\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}-\frac{1}{6}&0\\0&-1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D1%262%5C%5C3%264%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%26-1%5C%5C-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%26%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%26-1%2B1%5C%5C1-1%26-3%2B2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%260%5C%5C0%26-1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Thus, as can be seen we can obtain a diagonal matrix that is a product of non diagonal matrices.
In this problem the question asked is what principal should be invested on a rate of interest of 3.6% for 10 years to get the totals amount as 50000$
the formula for compound interest is
A=P*(1+R/100)^T
we shall replace the formula
50000=X*(1+3.6/100)^10
50000=x*(100/100+3.6/100)^10
50000=x*(103.6/100)^10
50000=X*(1.036)^10
50000=1.4242x
50000/1.4242=X
35107.42=X
