Step 1 :The intersection of a set A and a universal set U, denoted as \(A \cap U\), is the set of all elements that are common to both A and U.
Step 2 :Since A is a subset of U (because every set is a subset of the universal set), every element of A is also an element of U.
Step 3 :Therefore, the intersection of A and U is just the set A itself.
Step 4 :\(\boxed{A \cap U=A}\)
