Exercise 111.35.11. Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let

\begin{eqnarray*} f : \mathbf{A}_ k^ n & \longrightarrow & \mathbf{A}^ m_ k \\ (x_1, \ldots , x_ n) & \longmapsto & (f_1(x_ i), \ldots , f_ m(x_ i)) \end{eqnarray*}

be a morphism of schemes over k. This is given by m polynomials f_1, \ldots , f_ m in n variables. Consider the matrix

A = \left( \frac{\partial f_ j}{\partial x_ i} \right)

Let x \in \mathbf{A}^ n_ k be a closed point. Set y = f(x). Show that the map on tangent spaces T_{\mathbf{A}^ n_ k/k, x} \to T_{\mathbf{A}^ m_ k/k, y} is given by the value of the matrix A at the point x.
