I was not able to confirm this bug fact, hard to search a math theorem without a name. If anyone knows what this theorem is called and if it is true id be glad to know

  • Intuitively that makes some sense, although would it work if M occured multiple times in [a,b]

Cool, didn't think of that one. But it would still work, since you could consider that a constant in front of the f(x) not raised to the nth power (easier to imagine if we have a constant function, then its just (b-a)). The nth root will then normalise it to 1 for any real factor.
