Question

Q: Assistance in understanding and solving this example on Digital Design and Computer Architecture with the steps of the solution to better understand, thanks.

Important information: in the question below the prime notation ( ' after name of Boolean variable) is used to write the inverse of a variable. E.g. A' is the inverse of A. When answering the questions use correct theorem names like "Complements" or "Identity" exactly as used in the book.

The theorem named _________ ?has to be used to change the Boolean expression

A'B'C'+AB'C'+AB'C'+AB'C

to the Boolean expression

B'C' (A' + A) + AB' (C' + C)

which can be further changed to

B'C' (1) + AB' (1)

using the theorem named _______?

Explanation / Answer

Solution :

Law that generates B'C'(A'+A) out of AB'C' + A'B'C' is called distributive law.
Law that generates 1 out of A'+A is called complement law.

Here are the laws :

Distributive law : XY+XZ = X(Y+Z)
Complement law : X + X' = 1
