Hello, here is my problem.[/PLAIN]

My confusion lies in, why those particular partial derivatives are chosen to be acted upon the auxiliary function and then how they are put together to get the Euler-Lagrange equation?
My guess is that it's related to the turning points of the auxiliary equation, however i don't know why those derivatives are chosen and how they're related to the EL equation.
