Factorise the following matrix using Cholesky method.
Factorise the following matrix using Cholesky method. $$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1 \ 3 & 2 & 3 \ 1 & 4 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$$ [5]
$$A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1 \ 3 & 2 & 3 \ 1 & 4 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$$ Cholesky's method requires the matrix to be symmetric (and positive definite), factorising it as: $$A = L L^T$$ where $L$ is lower triangular. The given matrix is NOT symmetric since $a{12} = 1 \ne a{21} = 3$,
