Petrick’s MethodAn Example

Following this technique, we obtain:

P = (P1 + P2) (P1 + P3) (P2 + P4) (P3 + P5) (P4 + P6) (P5 + P6)

P = (P1 + P2) (P1 + P3) (P4 + P2) (P5 + P3) (P4 + P6) (P5 + P6)

P = (P1 + P2) (P1 + P3) (P4 + P2) (P4 + P6) (P5 + P3) (P5 + P6)

P = (P1 + P2 P3) (P4 + P2 P6) (P5 + P3 P6)
