Simplify the following expression, using Boolean laws:
Simplify the following expression, using Boolean laws:
$A \cdot ( A' + B ) \cdot C \cdot ( A + B )$
Answer
Answer
AI$A.(A'+B).C.(A+B)$
$A.(A'+B) = A.A' + A.B = 0 + AB = AB$ (Distributive law, then Complement law)
Expression becomes: $AB.C.(A+B) = ABC.(A+B)$
$ABC.(A+B) = ABC.A + ABC.B = ABC + ABC = ABC$ (Distributive law, then Idempotent law)
Final simplified expression (verified with the boolean tool): $F = ABC$
