Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two sets A and B


A\subset B

We have to prove show that
A\cap B=A\cup B

Suppose , x belongs to [tex}A\cap B[/tex]

Then ,
x\in A,x\in B

Then,
x\in (A\cup B)

If,
x\in (A\cup B)

Then,
x\in A or x\in B

If
x\in B Then, it is not necessary that x belongs to A .

If x belongs to A then


A\cap B=(A\cup B)

If x does not belongs to A then


A\cap B \\eq(A\cup B)

But, if x belongs to A then x is also belongs to B because A is a subset of B.

Then,
A\cap B=(A\cup B)
