4 The matrix \(\mathbf { M }\) is given by \(\mathbf { M } = \left( \begin{array} { r r } \cos 2 \theta & - \sin 2 \theta
\sin 2 \theta & \cos 2 \theta \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array} { l l } 1 & k
0 & 1 \end{array} \right)\), where \(0 < \theta < \pi\) and \(k\) is a non-zero constant. The matrix \(\mathbf { M }\) represents a sequence of two geometrical transformations, one of which is a shear.

1. Describe fully the other transformation and state the order in which the transformations are applied.
2. Write \(\mathbf { M } ^ { - 1 }\) as the product of two matrices, neither of which is \(\mathbf { I }\).
3. Find, in terms of \(k\), the value of \(\tan \theta\) for which \(\mathbf { M - I }\) is singular.
4. Given that \(k = 2 \sqrt { 3 }\) and \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\), show that the invariant points of the transformation represented by \(\mathbf { M }\) lie on the line \(3 y + \sqrt { 3 } x = 0\).
