Question 9

F=WX+YZ

The complement of F IS

F’=(WX+YZ)’

F’= (WX)’ (YZ)’ BY (X+Y)’= X’Y’

F’=(W’+X’)(Y’+Z’) BY (XY)’=X’+Y’

F’(W’+X’)(Y’+Z’)

SHOW THAT THE EXPRESSION F.F’=0

F.F’=(WX+YZ).[(W’+X’)(Y’+Z’)]

F.F’=(WX+YZ).(W’Y’+W’Z’+X’Y’+X’Z’)

F.F’={WXW’Y’+WXW’Z’+WXX’Y’+WXX’Z’+YZW’Y’+YZW’Z’+YZX’Y’+YZX’Z’}

F.F’={X(WW’)Y’+X(WW’)Z’+W(XX’)Y’+W(XX’)Z’+W’(YY’)Z+WY’(ZZ’)+X’(YY’)Z+X’Y(ZZ’)}

F.F’=X(0)Y’+X(0)Z’+W(0)Y’+W(0)Z’+W’(0)Z+WY’(0)+X’(0)Z+X’Y(0)} BY XX’=0

F.F’{0+0+0+0+0+0+0+0} BY X.0=0

F.F’=0

SHOW THAT THE EXPRESSION F+F’=1

F+F' = (WX+YZ) + (W'+X').(Y'+Z')

= ((WX).(YZ)')'+(WX)'+(YZ)' BY (XY)’= X’+Y’

= WX+YZ+(WX)'+(YZ)'

= WX+(WX)'+YZ+(YZ)'

=1+1=1 BY X+X’=1

F+F’=1

Question 10

The expression is Z+Z’(V’W+XY)

The complement of the given expression is (Z+Z'(V'W+XY))'

=Z'(Z'(V'W+XY))' BY (X+Y)’=X’Y’

=Z'(Z+(V'W+XY)') BY (XY)’=X’+Y’

=Z'(Z+(V'W)'(XY)') BY (X+Y)’=X’Y’

=Z'(Z+(V+W')(X'+Y')) BY (XY)’=X’+Y’
=ZZ'+Z'(V+W')(X'+Y')

=Z'(V+W')(X'+Y') BY A.A’=0

The complement of Z+Z(VW+XY) IS Z'(V+W')(X'+Y')
