...was my solution intended? I thought for sure that I needed some calculus for this or else I would TLE haha

nope, the problem is only 5 points, it's not supposed to be that hard!

How come I am getting the answers to be actually 15.492 and 547.682? I tested these answers and they seem to yield lower answers for f(M) which makes the test cases wrong. But I must be missing something... I initially thought maybe they only wanted the first decimal place but when I do that, I get some of the other answers wrong. So could someone tell me what is wrong with these answers?

I am assuming you are directly applying AM-GM, and the inequality holds iff but may have non-integer solutions.

How come derivative is not accurate enough?
