Using resultants to show extension of function fields of curves is algebraic.

$begingroup$


We are given two irreducible nonsingular plane curves, the zero sets of $f,gin bar{k}[x,y]$, with $bar{k}$ algebraically closed. We have an injective map given on algebras as $phi^*:C_frightarrow C_g$, and we want to show the the associated field extension $Quot(C_f)rightarrow Quot(C_g)$ is algebraic.



The problem is to express that $x,yin C_g$ are algebraic over $Quot(C_f)$, using resultants. The hint given is to use the resultants $Res_x(phi^*(u),phi^*(v))$ and $Res_y(phi^*(u),phi^*(v))$, where we are using $u,v$ to be $x,y$, but relabelling to avoid overloading notation, and emphasise they are coming from $C_f$.



I dont have a good feeling for how to prove things like this using resultants, they still seem a bit mysterious to me, so any additional intuition for how to think about resultants would be very welcome.



Note, I am aware of other ways to do this problem, I am specifically looking for a resultant based solution.
