Homework Statement
Let x* be an element of a convex set S. Show that x* is an extreme point of S if and only if the set S\{x*} is a convex set.
Homework Equations
(1-λ)x1 + λx2 exists in the convex set
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not too sure what S\{x*}, I asssumed it was the same as S/{x*} which is S over {x*}
I have is S?{x*} is a convex set then
λ(K/x*) + (1-λ)(P/x*) is a convex set were K and P are in the convex set S.
[λ(k) + (1-λ)(P)]/x* is in S/{x*}, but I can't see how it must me an extreme point
