Exercise 111.38.1. Let k be a field. Let k[t] \subset k(t) be the inclusion of the polynomial ring into its fraction field. Let X be a finite type scheme over k. Show that for any morphism
\varphi : \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k(t)) \longrightarrow X
over k, there exist a nonzero f \in k[t] and a morphism \psi : \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k[t, 1/f]) \to X over k such that \varphi is the composition
\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k(t)) \longrightarrow \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(k[t, 1/f]) \longrightarrow X
