I'm studying the proof of the ML inequlity from complex analysis. I don't know what they did in one step of the proof and I was wondering if anyone can explain the step to me.
First of all the theorem says:
Let f(z) be continuous on a contour C. Then
|\int_{c}f(z)dz| \leq ML
Where L is the length of C and M is an upper bound for |f| on C.
PROOF:
After a few steps we have:
|\int_{c}f(z)dz| \leq \int^{b}_{a} |f(z(t))||z'(t)|dt
And the text says " |f| is bounded on C, |f(z)| \leq M on C, where M is constant, then:
|\int_{c}f(z)dz| \leq M\int^{b}_{a} |z'(t)|dt
How did they get the M out of the integral?
