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]

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

a=1, \ \ b=2, \ \ c=3, \ \ d = 4, \ \ e=\frac{1}{3}, \ \ f=-1, \ \ g=-\frac{1}{4}, \ \ h=\frac{1}{2}

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]

Thus, as can be seen we can obtain a diagonal matrix that is a product of non diagonal matrices.

Yes, we can obtain a diagonal matrix by multiplying two non-diagonal matrices. A diagonal matrix is a matrix where all the elements beyond the diagonal are zeros. This is an example.
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&4\\0&-8&-9\\0&0&- \frac{55}{8}  \end{array}\right]  \cdot   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-3&- \frac{5}{8} \\0&1&- \frac{9}{8} \\0&0&1\end{array}\right]  =   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&-8&0\\0&0&- \frac{55}{8} \end{array}\right]

Probability that first student  prefers mechanical pen = 0.30
 P(first student does not and second student does) = 0.70 * 0.3 =  0.21)

P( selecting 2 or fweer) = 0.30+ 0.21) = 0.51  or 51%

How many significant digits are there in 17.0
svet-max [94.6K]
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.
