The distance between a point 
on the given plane and the point (0, 2, 4) is
but since
and 
share critical points, we can instead consider the problem of optimizing subject to 
.
The Lagrangian is
with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)
Solve for
:
which gives the critical point
We can confirm that this is a minimum by checking the Hessian matrix of:
is positive definite (we see its determinant and the determinants of its leading principal minors are positive), which indicates that there is a minimum at this critical point.
At this point, we get a distance from (0, 2, 4) of
but since
