The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of two 3x3 diagonal matrices \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \), where none of the diagonal elements is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Define the Diagonal Matrices**: Let \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) be defined as follows: \[ D_1 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{11} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13} \end{pmatrix}, \quad D_2 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{21} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{23} \end{pmatrix} \] where \( d_{11}, d_{12}, d_{13}, d_{21}, d_{22}, d_{23} \) are all non-zero. 2. **Check if \( D_1 D_2 \) is a Diagonal Matrix**: The product of two diagonal matrices is also a diagonal matrix. Therefore, we calculate: \[ D_1 D_2 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{11} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} d_{21} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{23} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} d_{11}d_{21} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12}d_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13}d_{23} \end{pmatrix} \] Since the product results in a diagonal matrix, this option is correct. 3. **Check if \( D_1 D_2 = D_2 D_1 \)**: Since matrix multiplication is commutative for diagonal matrices, we have: \[ D_2 D_1 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{21} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{22} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{23} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} d_{11} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} d_{21}d_{11} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{22}d_{12} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{23}d_{13} \end{pmatrix} \] Thus, \( D_1 D_2 = D_2 D_1 \), confirming this option is also correct. 4. **Check if \( D_1^2 + D_2^2 \) is a Diagonal Matrix**: We calculate \( D_1^2 \) and \( D_2^2 \): \[ D_1^2 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{11}^2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12}^2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13}^2 \end{pmatrix}, \quad D_2^2 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{21}^2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{22}^2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{23}^2 \end{pmatrix} \] Now, adding these two matrices: \[ D_1^2 + D_2^2 = \begin{pmatrix} d_{11}^2 + d_{21}^2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & d_{12}^2 + d_{22}^2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & d_{13}^2 + d_{23}^2 \end{pmatrix} \] This is also a diagonal matrix since all off-diagonal elements are zero. ### Conclusion All three options are correct: - \( D_1 D_2 \) is a diagonal matrix. - \( D_1 D_2 = D_2 D_1 \). - \( D_1^2 + D_2^2 \) is a diagonal matrix.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of two 3x3 diagonal matrices \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \), where none of the diagonal elements is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Define the Diagonal Matrices**: Let \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) be defined as follows: \[ D_1 = \begin{pmatrix} ...
