SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on simplifying the Boolean equation A̅D + AB̅C̅D. The participants analyze the application of Boolean algebra rules, specifically the consensus theorem and the absorption law. The equation is simplified to A̅D + B̅C̅D, confirming that A̅ + A results in 1, leading to the conclusion that D(1) simplifies to D. The correct application of the rule A + A̅B = A + B is also emphasized.

boolean equation

= A̅D + AB̅C̅D
= D (A̅ + AB̅C̅) * rule A + A̅B = AB ?
= A̅D + B̅C̅D

am i using the rule correct or does A̅ + A make it a 1 and answer D(1)

I think your rule on the second line should be:

A or (not A) B = A or B
