Question
For any two sets, prove that:
\[A \cup \left( A \cap B \right) = A\]
Solution
\[LHS = A \cup \left( A \cap B \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow LHS = \left( A \cup A \right) \cap \left( A \cup B \right) \]
\[ \Rightarrow LHS = A \cap \left( A \cup B \right) \left( \because A \subset A \cup B \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow LHS = A = RHS\]
