Boolean Simplification

Simplify Each of the following functions to a minimum number of literals:

a

$ F= wxyz(wxyz'+wx'yz+w'xyz+wxy'z) $

b

$ F = AB + ABC'D + ABDE' + ABC'E + C'DE $

c

$ F = MNO + Q'P'M + PRM + Q'OMP' + MR $ I can't get that one below 6 literals!

Simplify Each of the following functions to minimum sum-of-products form:

a

$ x'z + xy'z + xyz $

b

$ x'y'z' + x'yz + xyz $

c

$ x'y'z' + x'yz' + xy'z + xyz' $

d

$ a'b'c' + a'b'c + abc + ab'c $

e

$ x'y'z' + x'yz' + x'yz + xyz $

f

This one has two solutions, each with 3 AND terms, a total of 6 literals

$ x'y'z' + x'y'z + x'yz + xyz + xyz' $

Functional Equivalence

Via truth table or algebra, determine if the two functions are the same:

a

$ f= a'c' + a'c + bc' $

$ g= (a+c)(a'+b+c') $

b

$ f = ab + ac + a'bd $

$ g = bd + ab'c + abd' $

Canonical Form

For the following function, show the truth table, a minimum sum of products form, a canonical product-of-sums form, and an algebraic expression for the minterms of the complement of the function (f').

$ F = \Sigma(0,1,3,5,7) $
