The problem
I have been trying to solve a long problem but my answer differs from my books answer with just a few peculiar terms.
My answer:
##x_1' \vee x_0'x_1x_2 \vee x_0x_1'x_2' \vee x_2##
Book:
##x_1' \vee x_2 ##
My question is:
Is it possible to simplify ##x_0'x_1x_2 \vee x_0x_1'x_2'## to 0?The attempt at a solution
I tried rewriting ##x_1x_2## on both side using deMorgan's laws but that didn't lead anywhere. I have also tried writing different combinations of terms as product using the consensus law but that extra element which is created always becomes 0 so there is no point in doing that either.
Please halp. :,(
