Math Problem Statement

What is the fully simplified version of AB' + BC'?

Solution

The image shows a Boolean expression "AB̅ + BC̅" and asks for the fully simplified version of it.

Let's simplify the Boolean expression step by step:

Expression: AB+BCAB' + BC'

  1. Factor the expression: AB+BC=B(A+C)AB' + BC' = B'(A + C)

    We factored out BB' (the complement of B).

This is the fully simplified version of the Boolean expression. The answer is:

B(A+C)B'(A + C)
