$ A = (Acap E^c) cup (Acap E)$ ?
is that correct for any sets A and E?



Here is my proof:



Let $xin A$ since $Asubset Acap E$ $ xin Acap E cup (Acap E^c)$
now let $xin (Acap E^c) cup (Acap E)$ so either $x in (Acap E^c)$ or $x in cup (Acap E)$ it follows that $ x in A$ in both cases.

There is a flaw in your proof (if I understood it well). It is not true that $A subset A cap E$; for example, if $E = 1,2$ and $A = 0,1$, then $A cap E = 1$.



I assume $E^c$ means the complement of $E$ in some other set $X$. That statement is true if $A subset X$.



Let $x in A$. If $x notin E$, then $x in E^c$, and hence $x in A cap E^c$. Hence $A subset (A cap E)cup(A cap E^c)$.



To prove the other inclusion, note that both $(A cap E)$ and $(A cap E^c)$ are subsets of $A$, so their union also is a subset of $A$.



If $A notsubset X$ then you have $A cap X = (A cap E)cup(A cap E^c)$, since now $A cap X subset X$.

That's right. It can also be proved by (assuming as known) the elementary properties of algebra of sets.



$$
beginalign
A &= A cap U hskip1cm text (Identity law - $U$ is the universe)\
&= A cap ( E cup E^c) hskip1cm text (Complement law)\
&= (A cap E) cup (A cap E^c) hskip1cm text (Distributive property)\\
