Hence proved that xz=(x+y)(x+y’)(x’+z)

b) show that xz=(x+y)(x+y’)(x’+z) by using Boolean algebra identities :

     xz=(x+y)(x+y’)(x’+z)   {First we multiply the two terms (x+y)(x+y’)}

        = (x+xy’+xy+y.y’)(x’+z)     {identity :- x.x’=0}

        = (x+xy’+xy+0)(x’+z)

       = (x+xy’+xy)(x’+z)   {Now we multiply these two terms}

       = x’.x+xy’.x’+xy.x’+zx+zxy’+zxy

     = 0+0+0+zx+zx(y+y’)        {identity :- y+y’=1}

     = zx+zx                               {identity :- a+a=a}

     = zx Hence proved that xz=(x+y)(x+y’)(x’+z)
