Description

OR form

AND form

Axiom 1

x + 0 = x

x · 1 = x

Axiom 2

x + y = y +x

x · y = y · x

Axiom 3

x ·(y + z) = (x · y) + (x · z)

x + y · z = (x + y) · (x + z)

Axiom 4

x + x’ = 1

x · x’ = 0

Theorem 1

x + x = x

x · x = x

Theorem 2

x + 1 = 1

x · 0 = 0

Theorem 3

(x’) = x

 

Associativity

x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z

x · (y · z) = (x · y) · z

Absorption

x + x · y = x

x · (x + y) = x

DeMorgan’s Law

(x + y)’ = x’ · y’

(x · y)’ = x’ + y’
