We need to prove T(nullS)nullST(\operatorname{null}S)\subset\operatorname{null}S

Take arbitrary xT(nullS)x\in T(\operatorname{null}S)

Since xT(nullS)x\in T(\operatorname{null}S), there exists ynullSy\in\operatorname{null}S such that x=Tyx=Ty

Then Sx=STySx=STy. Since ST=TSST=TS, we have Sx=TSySx=TSy

Sy=0Sy=0, because ynullSy\in\operatorname{null}S, then Sx=TSy=T0=0Sx=TSy=T0=0, that is xnullSx\in\operatorname{null}S.

Since we take arbitrary xT(nullS)x\in T(\operatorname{null}S), we have T(nullS)nullST(\operatorname{null}S)\subset\operatorname{null}S
