Cardinality of projective space minus a point: |P^n(F) \ {α}| = (q^{n+1} - q) / (q - 1).
The cardinality of P^n(F) in the form used by the sharpness example.
Auxiliary form of Theorem 1: a map into F^(n+1) over a small finite set admits
a linear projection to F^n whose kernel misses all nonzero image points.
Base case of Theorem 1: n + 1 equations over a small finite set can be replaced
by at most n equations in their span.
Theorem 1: over a small finite set, any finite family of more than n functions can
be reduced to at most n functions in its span without changing its zero set.
Corollary 2: zero loci in affine n-space over a finite field can be defined using
at most n members of the original span.
Corollary 3: a nonempty projective zero locus in P^n(F) can be defined using at
most n members of the original span.
Proposition 1: the cardinality bound in Theorem 1 is sharp.
