Find all of homomorphisms $Φ$ from $\mathbb C$[$x$]/$I$ to $\mathbb C$ that satisfies specific condition 
I want to know how can I find ALL homomorphism that satisfies the condition mentioned in the question above. Please give me a method or answer in detail.
 A: Because $\phi(a)=a$ for all $a\in\Bbb{C}$ such a homomorphism is surjective, hence its image is a field, hence its kernel is a maximal ideal. The maximal ideals of the quotient $\Bbb{C}[x]/I$ correspond bijectively to the maximal ideals of $\Bbb{C}[x]$ that contain $I$. The maximal ideals of $\Bbb{C}[x]$ are the principal ideals generated by the linear polynomials. An ideal $(x+\alpha)$ contains $I=(x^2(x+1))$ if and only if $x+\alpha$ divides $x^2(x+1)$, i.e. if and only if $\alpha\in\{0,1\}$. What are the corresponding ring homomorphisms?
A: Here is another approach:


*

*By the universal property of the quotient,  giving a ring homomorphism $\phi:\Bbb{C}[x]/I\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is the same as giving  a ring homomorphism $\psi:\Bbb{C}[x]\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ with $\psi(I)=0$.

*By the universal property of the polynomial ring,  giving a ring homomorphism $\psi:\Bbb{C}[x]\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is the same as giving  a ring homomorphism $\rho : \mathbb{C} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ and specifying an element $\bar{x}\in\mathbb{C}$ (which will then be the image of $x$).
So combining these two and using that you want $\phi(a)=a$ for all $a\in \mathbb{C}$ such a ring homomorphism is uniquely determined by specifying an element $\bar{x}\in\mathbb{C}$ such that $\bar{x}^2(\bar{x}+1)=0$. What are the two corresponding ring homomorphisms?
