Write , where , and , with on the overlap. Since is a quasi-coherent sheaf, it is associated to a -module on . The preimages under the open inclusion of are , all affine schemes. Thus is an affine morphism and its direct image sheaf is quasi-coherent by direct image of a quasi-coherent sheaf under an affine morphism.
The two-chart cover is an acyclic cover by vanishing of quasi-coherent cohomology on an affine scheme, so the acyclic cover theorem identifies its Čech cohomology with sheaf cohomology. Its only potentially nontrivial positive-degree differential is
This is surjective because of the second summand. There are no normalized Čech terms in degree two or higher for a two-open cover, so
This is the acyclic direct image from an affine chart of the projective line. The pushforward need not itself be a flasque sheaf; the acyclic affine cover is what justifies this computation.
