    Simplification of logic expression using Boolean algebra.
    Using Boolean algebra;

    1. (X + Y + Z)(X + Y + Z')
    2. A'BC' + ABC' + BC'D + BC + B'
    3. A'C + ABC' + A'B + AB'
    4. AB' + B'C' + AB + B'C
    My answer

    1. X + Y.
    2. C'D + 1
    3. (Somehow I cant simplify this)
    4. B' + A
    Could anyone confirm this is correct and how do I simplify Q.3?

    Well, I did manage to simplify for Q.3. My answer is AB + AC + ABC'. And I don't know if it can be simplify again, but this is so far I can get.

    sorry, correction for Q2. My answer is BC'D + A.

    I did recheck my answer for Q.3, it's wrong.

    This is my working for Q.3,


    A'C = A(A'+C) = AC.
    A'B = A(A'+B) = AB.
    B'A = B(B'+A) = AB or BA.

    AC + AB + AB + ABC'
    AC + AB + ABC'. <------but I verify this with truth table, its wrong. Help! I want to know what's wrong.

    Just Curious here, does



    If so,






    Excuse me if this makes no sense, this is my first dabble on boolean math. Reviewing the identities I think it makes sense...I'm not sure how to carry it from there...
