Math Problem Statement
Simplify the following Boolean algebra expressions:
1. X = A̅B + A(A̅ + C)
2. X = (ABC + D)̅AB
Solution
The image contains two Boolean algebra expressions. Let’s break them down and simplify each.
Expression 1:
We will simplify this step by step:
- Apply the Distributive Property to the second term: Since , we get: So the expression becomes:
This is the simplified form for expression 1.
Expression 2:
We will simplify this step by step:
- Use De Morgan's law to break the negation of the sum: Using De Morgan’s law on the first term , we get: So the expression becomes:
- Distribute across the terms: [ X = (A \cdot B \cdot \overline{A}) + (A \cdot B \cdot \overline{B}) + (A
