ok we are supposed to go to here

Find 3 different matrices that reflect the following transformations, report the matrix, the determinant, and the eigenvalues.

1. Rotation by $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$
2. Shear along $x$ by a factor of $k$
3. Reflection by the line $\theta$

there are some more but the site asked for doesn't return the transformed matrix just a morphed image
also I presume we doing all 3 matrices with just the matrix's used in the site

I tried geogebra and W|A also but the plots didn't look like vectors

anyway this is due on Friday so hope I can get it right. I am sure the answer is relatively simple

ok here is what I did for shear k=2
probab'y would have been better for $k=\sqrt{2}$

I don't understand this phrase. What matrix is used on the site? To me the problem seems to ask to find three separate matrices, their determinants and their eigenvalues.
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
