Reduce the following Boolean expression using only Boolean algebra. Show all your work (Do NOT use truth
tables or K-maps for this question. See last page for a summary of Boolean algebra postulates and theorems.)
Use Karnaugh map (K-map) to simplify the following 4-variable function with Don’t-Care conditions:
Obtain the truth table of the function F by filling the following table.
F(x, y, z) = F = x’y + xz' + yz
1. X + 0 = X 2. X•1=X
3. X + 1 = 1 4. X•0=0
5. X + X = X 6. X•X=X
7. X + X’ = 1 8. X • X’ = 0
9. X + X’ • Y= X + Y 10. (X’)’ = X
11. X + Y = Y + X 12. X•Y=Y•X
13. (X + Y) + Z = X + (Y + Z) 14. (X • Y) • Z = X • (Y • Z)
15. X • (Y + Z) = X • Y + X • Z 16. X + Y • Z = (X + Y) • (X + Z)
17. (X + Y)’ = X’ • Y’ 18. (X • Y)’ = X’ + Y’
