Math Problem Statement

A'(a+b)+(b+aa)(a+b') computer organisation Boolean algebra

Solution

Let's simplify the Boolean expression step by step using the rules of Boolean algebra.

The expression is:

A(a+b)+(b+aa)(a+b)A'(a + b) + (b + aa)(a + b')

Step 1: Apply the Idempotent Law (which states A+A=AA + A = A) to simplify aaaa in the second term.

A(a+b)+(b+a)(a+b)A'(a + b) + (b + a)(a + b') This is because aa=aaa = a.

Step 2: Expand both terms.

  1. First term: A(a+b)A'(a + b)

[ A'(a + b) = A'a + A'b
