Math Problem Statement

F =( ( A * (B(Compliment))) + C (Compliment)) OR ((A*B(compliment)CD(compliment)) XOR (B * D(compliment))

Solution

The given Boolean expression is:

F=(AB+C)(ABCD(BD))F = \left( A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C} \right) \lor \left( A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D} \oplus \left( B \cdot \overline{D} \right) \right)

Let's break this down:

  1. First part: AB+CA \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C}

    • ABA \cdot \overline{B}: This represents the AND operation between AA and the complement of BB.
    • C\overline{C}: This is the complement of CC, which means the NOT operation is applied to CC.
    • The result of these two terms is combined using OR (denoted as ++).
  2. Second part: ABCD(BD)A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D} \oplus \left( B \cdot \overline{D} \right)

    • ABCDA \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}: This is the AND operation involving AA, the complement of BB, CC, and the complement of DD.
    • BDB \cdot \overline{D}: This represents the AND operation between BB and the complement of DD.
    • These two results are then combined using the XOR (\oplus) operation.
  3. Final step: Combine the two parts using OR (\lor).

Thus, the Boolean function FF is:

F=(AB+C)((ABCD)(BD))F = \left( A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C} \right) \lor \left( \left( A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D} \right) \oplus \left( B \cdot \overline{D} \right) \right)
