f=x'y'z+(x'y'z)'. simplify the boolean expression. urgent

hartnn (hartnn):

you use the identity, A+A' = 1 so, f=x'y'z+(x'y'z)' = 1 (where x'y'z can be considered as A)

OpenStudy (ketz):

but if i proceed by expanding the bracket! I'm not getting the answer!!!!

hartnn (hartnn):

expanding the bracket ? like x'y'z +xyz' ? no need for that, you can use A=x'y'z and that A+A'=1 you can also verify it using truth table.

OpenStudy (ketz):

yeh i know but i want to proceed by expanding the bracket using de morgan's laws. and am not getting the answer. can anyone try it by this method!!

hartnn (hartnn):

let me try on, left of + x'y' = (x+y)' ---> x'y'z =(x+y)'z on right of + (x'y'z)' = (x+y+z') hmm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

f=x'y'z+(x'y'z)' x'y'z + x + y + z' y'z + x + y + z' x + y'z + y + z' x + y + z + z' x + y + 1 1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in 2ns line use this rule : x+x'y = x+y

OpenStudy (ketz):

Can you prove the law x+x'y=x+y???

OpenStudy (ketz):

By Boolean Algebra!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

did u try to prove already... it wont be difficult i think

OpenStudy (ketz):

No

OpenStudy (ketz):

How can you prove or simplify it by boolean algebra??

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u knw distributive property for AND logic ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x + (y.z) = (x+y).(x+z)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u familiar wid that prop ? u can use that to prove x + x'y = x + y very easily

OpenStudy (ketz):

ok got it!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

great :)
