a)Why do we simplify Boolean expressions?

Answer 1

Through Boolean algebra simplification, a Boolean expression is translated to another form with less number of terms and operations. A logic circuit for the simplified Boolean expression performs the identical function with fewer logic components as compared to its original form.

Answer 2

When we simplify an expression, we’re basically just writing it in the simplest way possible. By using the Boolean algebra simplification method, a Boolean expression is translated to another form with a fewer number of terms and operations.
