\[A\vee(\neg A\wedge B)\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Truth table?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i know the answer , i wanna see you do it

Parth (parthkohli):

So truth table right?

Parth (parthkohli):

A B A V (~A ^ B) 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1

Parth (parthkohli):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

were are the intermediate columns?

Parth (parthkohli):

Never heard of that term. Would you please explain? Thanks! :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i cannot see how you got your third column

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

or your second or first for that matter \

Parth (parthkohli):

That was your question...

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

absorption

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh and 1 0 1 I posted A - 0, B - 1 twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli he wants you to show ~A, ~A ^ B as intermediates

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

where did the numbers come form/?

Parth (parthkohli):

Sorry, I thought you needed a truth table.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

not really

Parth (parthkohli):

I've never heard of that...sorry.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

this is not ment to be a difficult question

OpenStudy (hba):

Very Easy Question :)

Parth (parthkohli):

I've not heard what an "intermediate" is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He does want a truth table; @UnkleRhaukus the 0, 1 are false, true in boolean algebra.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli the intermediates are the inner steps i.e. ~A and then ~A ^ B before A V (~A ^ B)

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh something like this?\[\rm A \vee (\neg A \wedge B) \equiv A\vee B\]

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh that?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you havent justified it

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, then wait a second.

Parth (parthkohli):

A B ~A ~A ^ B A V (~A ^ B) 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A B ~A ~A^B Av[~A^B] T T F F T T F F F T F T T T T F F T F F

Parth (parthkohli):

Comparing truth tables, A B A V (~A ^ B) A V B 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 So,\[\rm A \vee (\neg A\wedge B)\equiv A\vee B \]

Parth (parthkohli):

@UnkleGenius Good enough?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

thats the one
