Cause I’ve tried doing the truth table unfortunately one has 3 literals and the other has 4 so i got confused.
F = (A+B+C)(A+B+D')+B'C;
and this is the simplified version
F = A + B + C
cause I think there’s something wrong with this reviewer.. or is it accurate?
btw is simplification different from minimizing from Sum of Minterms to Sum of Products?
Yes, it is the same.
Draw the truth table for both expressions, assuming that there are four input variables in both. The value of
Dwill not play into the second truth table: values in cells withD=1will match values in cells withD=0. In other words, you can think of the second expression asYou will see that both tables match: the
(A+B+C)(A+B+D')subexpression has zeros inABCD= {0000, 0001, 0011};(A+B+C)has zeros only at{0000, 0001}. AddingB'Cpatches zero at0011in the first subexpressions, so the results are equivalent.
