In a group G, is it true that <A,B>n<C>=<AuBnC> where A,B and C are sets in G?
Where <D> denotes the smallest subgroup in G containing the set D.
Proof
If g is in <A,B> and g is in <C> then g is capable of being generated by elements in A or B and also elements in C. So g is generated by elements in (AuB)nC. So g is in <(AuB)nC>.
if g is in <(AuB)nC> then g is in <AuB> and g is in <C> so g is in <AuB>n<C>
Where <D> denotes the smallest subgroup in G containing the set D.
Proof
If g is in <A,B> and g is in <C> then g is capable of being generated by elements in A or B and also elements in C. So g is generated by elements in (AuB)nC. So g is in <(AuB)nC>.
if g is in <(AuB)nC> then g is in <AuB> and g is in <C> so g is in <AuB>n<C>
