both. Then this must mean that AB , in fact, is zero i.e., 1 · 0 = 0 .



Not exactly, since A is or''d with A AND B, it reduces to simply A. Draw out a truth diagram and look at it.

  let X = A and B  let V = A or  X  A   B   X  V  0   0   0  0  1   0   0  1  0   1   0  0  1   1   1  1



Can you see that V = A or A and B is equal to A?

I assume + means or here, I am unfamiliar with using the + symbol in boolean algebra.
