Simplification of the boolean expression using boolean algebra

295 Views Asked by At

Simplify the following expressions to the simplest expression using De Morgan's theorem and Boolean algebra.

ABC+A'CD+B'CD

=(AB+A'D+B'D)C

=(AB+(A'+B')D)C

=(AB+(AB)'D)C

can anyone simplify it further and explain how you got there.Thanks in advance.

It always helps to expand the terms so they include all variables .. and then reorganize, and recombine in a more efficient way, adding or removing duplicates as needed.

The key principle is:

Adjacency

$P = PQ + PQ'$

Starting from your second expression:

$(AB+A'D+B'D)C=$

$(ABD+ABD'+A'BD+A'B'D+AB'D+A'B'D)C=$

$(ABD+ABD'+(AB+A'B+AB'+A'B')D)C=$

$(AB+(B+B')D)C=$

$(AB+D)C$
