Determine the Cholesky factorization (without pivoting) of the matrix

A=[242410+λ2+3λ22+3λ23+9λ]A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & -4 & 2 \\ -4 & 10+\lambda & 2+3 \lambda \\ 2 & 2+3 \lambda & 23+9 \lambda \end{array}\right]

where λ\lambda is a real parameter. Hence, find the range of values of λ\lambda for which the matrix AA is positive definite.
