SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving that set A, defined as A = { pi + 2k pi | k ∈ Z }, is a subset of set B, defined as B = {(- pi / 3) + (2k pi / 3) | k ∈ A }. The proof involves substituting elements from set A into the expression for set B. The solution was achieved by replacing pi with -pi/3 + 4pi/3, confirming that every element of A can be expressed in terms of elements in B.
