1. Boolean Algebra
(36) Define the Boolean function, F , in the three variables, x, y, and z, by F (1, 1, 0) =
F (1, 0, 1) = F (0, 0, 0) = 1 and F (x, y, z) = 0 for all other (x, y, z) in {0, 1}3 .
(a) Find the sum-of-products form for F .
(d) Sketch the logical network that has the same output as F , and uses the
order of operations given in the expression in part (a).
(e) Sketch the logical network that has the same output as F , and uses the
order of operations given in the expression in part (b).
