If a problem a*x+b/x+c
subjected to 0<x<=d
Condition on a,b,c,d such that for optimal solution 0<x*<d?
For example,
x0=0;
f=@(x)(2*x+5/x+10);
x=fmincon(f,x0,[],[],[],[],0,10)
If plotting this,

If I taking the range, 0 to 10 optimal point is 1.581,that is between the boundary
while in the range of 2 to 4,optimal point is 2,that is in the boundary
Also if the range 4 to 10,optimal point is 4,that is in the boundary
So,my problem is to find out at what condition on a,b,c,d such that solution between the boundary not on boundary.
N.B a,b,c,d values are changable.

The derivative of the curve is zero at x=sqrt(b/a). So, the condition is,
0<a,
0<b,
sqrt(b/a)<d
