Minimize the expression:

F (a, b) = a b + a b^{'} + a^{'} b

.
(A)

a^{'} + b^{'}

(B)

a^{'} + b

(C)

a + b

(D)

a + b^{'}

I have no idea how to solve this problem. Also how to maximize the expression and what is the value of maximization.

Given that this is multiple choice, the fastest approach might be to try some simple values for

a

and

b

. For example,

F (0, 0) = 0

, and only choice (C) yields 0 for

(a, b) = (0, 0)
