Math Problem Statement

(Ā + B + C) . (Ā + B̅ + C̅) . (A + B + C) . A̅B̅

Solution

The expression in the image seems to be a Boolean algebra expression. Here's the expression I can extract from it:

(A+B+C)(A+B+C)(A+B+C)(AB)(\overline{A} + B + C)(\overline{A} + \overline{B} + \overline{C})(A + B + C)(A\overline{B})

Where:

  • A\overline{A} denotes the complement (negation) of AA,
  • ++ denotes the OR operation,
  • \cdot (dot) denotes the AND operation.

Now, to simplify this Boolean expression, we can proceed with step-by-step simplification using Boolean algebra rules.

Step-by-Step Simplification:

  1. Group the expression into two parts: F=(A+B+C)(A+B+C)(A+B+C)(AB)F = (\overline{A} + B + C)(\overline{A} + \overline{B} + \overline{C})(A + B + C)(A\overline{B})

  2. Consider applying distributive properties:

    • First, simplify (A+B+C)(A+B+C)(\overline{A} + B + C)(\overline{A} + \overline{B} + \overline{C}).
  3. Use Boolean identities, like De Morgan's laws, and cancellation where possible.
