We propose by means of an example of applications of the classical Lagrange Multiplier Method for computing fold bifurcation point of an equilibrium ina one-parameter family of dynamical systems. We have used the fact that an equilibrium of a system, geometrically can be seen as an intersection between nullcline manifolds of the system. Thus, we can view the problem of two collapsing equilibria as a constrained optimization problem, where one of the nullclines acts as the cost function while the other nullclines act as the constraints.
