For represented by coprime integers, its naive height on the projective line is
Write the degree- morphism as , where are homogeneous of degree with no common projective zero. Bounding their coefficients gives
For the reverse inequality, the nonvanishing of the resultant of and gives homogeneous Bézout identities expressing fixed nonzero integer multiples of powers of and as polynomial combinations of and . Evaluating at , removing the common divisor of and , and taking the larger of gives
Thus for constants depending only on .
