let kLet $k$ be a field, k[a] and $k[a]$ an algebric extension. if AIf $A$ is a reduced commutative algebra over K[a]$k[a]$ and B$B$ is a subring which is an algebra over k. then$k$, then is the following true: if there exitsexist elements $x,y\in A$$x,y\in B$ such that $xa+y=0$, then: x=y=0. $x=y=0$?
ifIf it is not true in the general case, is it true in the case where: k[a] $k[a]$ is an inseparable extension of degree p$p$ over k $k$, A$A$ is finitely generated, and $B=A^{p}=\{{y^{p}\,|\, y\in A\}}$$B=A^{p}=\{{y^{p}\ |\ y\in A\}}$?
