Math Problem Statement
The Boolean expression A + A'B is equivalent to A + B.
Solution
The Boolean expression simplifies to . Here's how this works:
Simplification:
-
The given expression is:
-
Apply the Absorption Law of Boolean algebra, which states: This works because:
- If is true, the entire expression becomes , as dominates.
- If is false, the term simplifies to .
Hence, the expression is equivalent to .
