B3.10
Let be an irreducible polynomial of degree (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) and the corresponding affine plane curve. Assume that is smooth (non-singular) and that the projectivization of intersects the line at infinity in distinct points. Show that is smooth and determine the divisor of the rational differential on . Deduce a formula for the genus of .
