Boolean Algebraic Identities
an identity is a statement true for all
possible values of its variable or
variables.
There are four boolean Additive
identities, and as follows:
1. Identity Law A + 0 = A
2. Dominance Law A + 1 = 1
3. Idempotent Law A + A = A
4. Complement Law A + = 1
Boolean Multiplicative Identities
1. 0 x A = 0
2. 1 x A = A
3. expresses the result of a Boolean
quantity multiplied by itself A x A = A
4. the product of a variable and its
complement must be 0 A = 0.
Identity Law
The algebraic identity of x + 0 = x tells
us that anything (x) added to zero
equals the original anything, no matter
what value that anything (x) may be.
Dominance Law
Here we discover that the sum of anything and
one is one:
