Step1:

Convert g ( x)=5x1  6 x2  30  0 into equality constraints by subtracting a positive


surplus variable s 2 . But finally we should discard it.
g ( x)  s 2  0; s 2  0. Why s 2 ?.
Step2. Write Lagrangian Function
L( x,   0, s )  f ( x) -   g ( x)  s 2  minus in the second term is crucial
At optimal point
L
 0  f ( x)  g ( x)  0 vector        (1)
x
L
 0   g ( x )  s 2   0  g ( x)  0      (2)

L
 0   s  0,
s
But s=0  g ( x)  0, s  0  g ( x)  0.
