<math>\displaystyle D_s(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N)^{1/s} \cdot N^{1/s} = M_{-s}(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N)</math>
<math>\displaystyle D_s(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N)^{1/s} \cdot N^{1/s} = M_{-s}(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_N)</math>


And now we need only use the proof that it is well known that the power mean tends to the geometric mean as <math>p \to 0</math>, the minimum as <math>p \to -infty</math> and the maximum as <math>p \to \infty</math>. Thus, since we have flipped the sign so that <math>D_s = M_{-s}</math>, we have the aforementioned result, but with <math>s \to \infty</math> being the minimum and <math>s \to -\infty</math> being the maximum.

Since for dyads, at least in terms of relative rankings, the geometric mean is equivalent to the Tenney Height, and the maximum the Weil Height, we have our result.
