The correct Answer is:
To solve the Boolean expression `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q)` and determine its equivalence, we will create a truth table and evaluate the expression step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Variables We will define the variables involved: - Let `p` and `q` be the Boolean variables. - `¬p` is the negation of `p`. - `¬q` is the negation of `q`. ### Step 2: Create the Truth Table We will create a truth table that includes all possible values of `p` and `q`, along with their negations and the results of the expressions involved. | p | q | ¬p | ¬q | p ∧ ¬q | ¬p ∧ q | (p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q | (p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q) | |---|---|----|----|--------|---------|---------------|--------------------------| | T | T | F | F | F | F | T | T | | T | F | F | T | T | F | T | T | | F | T | T | F | F | T | T | T | | F | F | T | T | F | F | F | F | ### Step 3: Evaluate Each Expression 1. **Negations**: - When `p` is True (T), `¬p` is False (F). When `p` is False (F), `¬p` is True (T). - When `q` is True (T), `¬q` is False (F). When `q` is False (F), `¬q` is True (T). 2. **Calculate `p ∧ ¬q`**: - This expression is True only when `p` is True and `q` is False. Thus, it is True in the second row. 3. **Calculate `¬p ∧ q`**: - This expression is True only when `p` is False and `q` is True. Thus, it is True in the third row. 4. **Calculate `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q`**: - This expression is True if either `p ∧ ¬q` is True or `q` is True. It is True in the first three rows. 5. **Final Expression `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q)`**: - This expression is True if either `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q` is True or `¬p ∧ q` is True. It is True in the first three rows and False only in the last row. ### Step 4: Conclusion From the truth table, we see that the final column `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q)` evaluates to True for the combinations (T, T), (T, F), (F, T) and False for (F, F). This is equivalent to the expression `p ∨ q`. ### Final Answer The Boolean expression `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q)` is equivalent to `p ∨ q`.

To solve the Boolean expression `(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ q ∨ (¬p ∧ q)` and determine its equivalence, we will create a truth table and evaluate the expression step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Variables We will define the variables involved: - Let `p` and `q` be the Boolean variables. - `¬p` is the negation of `p`. - `¬q` is the negation of `q`. ...
