Could you tell me if the following step is correct??
If $p(x, y, z) \in ker \phi$, $$\phi(p(x, y, z))=0 \Rightarrow \phi(g(x, y, z)(y-x^2)+(z-x^3)a(x, z)+b(x))=0 \Rightarrow \phi(g(x, y, z)) \phi((y-x^2))+\phi((z-x^3))\phi(a(x, z))+\phi(b(x))=0\Rightarrow \phi(b(x))=0 \Rightarrow b(\phi(x))=0 \Rightarrow b(x)=0$$
