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 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
