Answer:

NOT (NOT x AND NOT y)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is DeMorgan's theorem. Look that up for more details.


{\displaystyle {\overline {A\cdot B}}={\overline {A}}+{\overline {B}}} \\ewline \\ewline{\displaystyle {\overline {A+B}}={\overline {A}}\cdot {\overline {B}}}

So


{A + B}=\overline{{\overline {A}}\cdot{\overline {B}}}}

You can also compare them by creating a truth table.


\begin{tabular} c  x & y & x OR y \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\\end{tabular}
