:
↑h ^ f.totalDegree * ↑(integerCoefficientHeight ((MvPolynomial.homogeneousComponent f.totalDegree) f)) ≤ ↑(integerCoefficientHeight (scaledHomogenize f.totalDegree h f))
For h ≥ 1, the scaled homogenization of f in degree d = f.totalDegree has coefficient
height at least h ^ d times the coefficient height of the top homogeneous component of f.
The top homogeneous component of a nonzero integer polynomial has coefficient height at
least 1.
