V. PROBLEM
A. Question
1. What is Boolean function?
2. What is the important of simplifying logic circuit?
3. Hod did you prove that the normal logic circuit has equal function with the simplified
logic circuit?

B. Answer

1. A Boolean function is like the basic mathematical representation of how a whole circuit
works, on what logic gate have positive and negative value, what and where allows the
signal to happen.
2. It is crucial to easily understand the circuit, to minimize mistakes and increase efficiency.
Just like the activity that was made, the simplified circuit was a whole lot easier than the
first complicated logic circuit.
3. By effectively comparing the truth tables of both and actually trying the various
possibilities of the input values, which still was the same output.

VI. GENERALIZATION
In general, learning the use and importance of understanding logic gates are crucial
specially as these are the basic components that build up electronics that we use almost
anywhere now. As a group, it was also fascinating to see and understand just how far technology
has advanced, from simple circuits like these to intricate and large-scale things, and learning
about the Boolean function wherein these values could be simply represented to be easily
understood is fascinating at best as we also learned previously the past lab activities, the
importance of simplifying circuits or equations.
