Need help with this foundations of mathematics homework problem.

 

**Problem Statement**

Prove that:

\[ A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C) \]

This is a demonstration of the distributive law in set theory. The goal is to show that the intersection of set \( A \) with the union of sets \( B \) and \( C \) is equivalent to the union of the intersections of set \( A \) with sets \( B \) and \( C \) individually.
