The set of all values of λ\lambdaλ for which the system of linear equations:

2x1−2x2+x3=λx12 {x}_{1} - 2 {x}_{2} + {x}_{3} = \lambda {x}_{1}2x1​−2x2​+x3​=λx1​

2x1−3x2+2x3=λx22 {x}_{1} - 3 {x}_{2} + { 2 x }_{3} = \lambda {x}_{2}2x1​−3x2​+2x3​=λx2​

−x1+2x2=λx3- {x}_{1} + { 2 x }_{2} = \lambda {x}_{3}−x1​+2x2​=λx3​

has a non-trivial solution,
