The graph shows the exponential regression model for data representing a rabbit population after x years. Which is true of the r
egression model?
The graph of the regression model is limited to whole-number values for x.
The graph of the regression model is limited to whole-number values for y.
The graph of the regression model cannot be used to approximate the population size for year 1.
The graph of the regression model can be used to predict the population size for any number of years in the future.

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.
