To solve the given Boolean expression, we need to simplify it using Boolean algebra identities. Given:
\([ (A' + B') \cdot (A + B) ] \)
Where: A' is the complement (NOT) of A
B' is the complement (NOT) of B
To simplify, distribute the terms using the distributive property:
\([ = A'A + A'B + B'A + B'B ] \)
Let's simplify each term:
1. \(( A'A )\) will always be 0 because it is the AND operation between a variable and its complement.
2. B'B will also always be 0 for the same reason. So the above expression reduces to: \([ A'B + B'A ] \)
This is the Boolean expression for the Exclusive OR (XOR) operation: \([ A \oplus B ] \)
So, the simplified Boolean expression for \(( (A' + B') \cdot (A + B) ) is: [ A \oplus B ]\)
