Writing given equations in matrix form AX=B

$ \therefore \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} 1& 1& 1\\ 1& 2& 4\\ 1& 4& 10 \end{array}\right] \left[ \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z \end{array}\right] \;=\; \left[ \begin{array}{c} 1\\ \lambda\\ \lambda^2 \end{array}\right] \\ \; \\ \; \\ \; \\ R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1 , R_3 \rightarrow R_3-R_2 …
