following equation is valid x1 x3 + x2 x3 + x1 x2 = x1 x2 + x1 x3 + x2 x3 Solution: The equation is valid if the expressions on the left- and right-hand sides represent the same function. To perform the comparison‚ we could construct a truth table for each side and see if the truth tables are the same. An algebraic approach is to derive a canonical sum-of-product form for each expression. Using the fact that x + x = 1 (Theorem 8b)‚ we can manipulate the left-hand side as follows: LHS = x1 x3 +

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers. The decimal of a rational number will either repeat or terminate. There is a way to tell in advance whether a rational number’s decimal representation will repeat or terminate. When trying to find a pattern in the relationship between rational numbers and their decimals‚ it is best to start with a list. A random list of rational numbers and their decimal values was made in order to find a pattern. The list included ½‚ 5/6
