Answer

So, the final answer is \(\boxed{\{a, c, f, g\}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to find the intersection of sets B and C. The intersection of two sets is the set of elements that are common to both sets. So, we have \(B \cap C = \{a, f, g\} \cap \{a, b, c, d\} = \{a\}\).

Step 2 :Next, we need to find the union of sets A and \(B \cap C\). The union of two sets is the set of elements that are in either set. So, we have \(A \cup (B \cap C) = \{c, f, g\} \cup \{a\} = \{a, c, f, g\}\).

Step 3 :So, the final answer is \(\boxed{\{a, c, f, g\}}\).
