AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the simplification of the Boolean equation AB'D' + AC'D' + CD'. The user initially simplifies it to AB'D' + AD' + D', questioning the correctness of this step. They further propose combining like terms, concluding that the final simplified form could be AB' + D'. The conversation focuses on the accuracy of these simplifications and whether any additional reductions are possible. The user seeks confirmation on their understanding of Boolean algebra principles.

Homework Statement



I came to an equation which looks like this:

AB'D' + AC'D' + CD'

I know I can simplify out the C to this

AB'D' + AD' + D'

Any further simplification available (And am I simplifying properly so far?)

Thanks

Actually would I be correct in saying that all like terms would be combined? because D'+D'+D'=D' so the simplified form of the equation above would be AB'+D'

Is that right or am I completely crazy?
