Work Step by Step

Assume $v_1,v_2 \in V$ $(T_1+T_2)(v_1+v_2)\\ =T(v_1+v_2)+T_2(v_1+v_2)\\ =(T_2+T_1)(v_1)+(T_1+T_2)(v_2)\\ =T(a_1,b_1,c_1)+T(a_2,b_2,c_2)$ $(T_1+T_2)(cv_1)\\ =T_1(cv_1)+T_2(cv_2)\\ =cT_1(v_1)+ct_2(v_2)\\ =c(T_1(v_1)+T_2(v_2))\\ =c (T_1+T_2)(v_1)$ Hence, $T_1+T_2$ is a linear transformation Obtain: $Ker(T_1+T_2)=\{v \in V:(T_1+T_2)(v)=0\}\\ =\{v \in V:T(v_1)+T_2(v)=0\}\\ =\{v \in V:T_1(v)=-T_2(v)\}\\ \rightarrow v\in Ker(T_1) \rightarrow T_2(v)=0$ then $v \in Ker(T_1+T_2)$
