a. D
45. Both equations of the law of ABSORPTION, A(A+B) =A and
b. AQ
A+(AB) =A can be proved by applying the laws of Boolean Algebra
c. X
shown below.
d. EZ
A(A+B) =A
AA+AB=A
DISTRIBUTIVE
A+AB=A
IDEMPOTENT
A(1 +B) =A
DISTRIBUTIVE
A 1=A
UNION
A=A
INTERSECTION
A+(AB) =A
A+AB=A
ASSOCIATIVE
A(1 +B) =A
DISTRIBUTIVE
A 1=A
UNION
A=A
INTERSECTION
Since both equations are equal to A, it is mathematically correct
that A(A+B) =A+AB.
