Question
In \(R^{3}\) the shear in the xy-direction by a factor \(k\) is the matrix transformation that moves each point \((x,y,z)\) parallel to the \(xy\) -plane to the new position \((x+kz,y+kz,z)\). (See the accompanying figure.)
a. Find the standard matrix for the shear in the \(xy\) -direction by a factor \(k\).
b. How would you define the shear in the \(xz\)-direction by a factor \(k\) and the shear in the \(yz\)-direction by a factor \(k\)? What are the standard matrices for these matrix transformations?
Solution
The first step in solving 8.6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In \(R^{3}\) the shear in the xy-direction by a factor \(k\) is the matrix transformation that moves each point \((x,y,z)\) parallel to the \(xy\) -plane to the new position \((x+kz,y+kz,z)\).

How would you define the shear in the \(xz\)-direction by a factor \(k\) and the shear in the \(yz\)-direction by a factor \(k\)? What are the standard matrices for these matrix transformations?
From the textbook chapter Geometry of Matrix Operators you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
