Math Problem Statement

You

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

Solution

Let's break down the logical expression and clarify each part:

  1. Expression 1: F=AB+CF = A \cdot B' + C'

    • AA: A boolean variable.
    • BB': The complement (NOT) of BB.
    • CC': The complement (NOT) of CC.
    • This expression uses logical AND (\cdot) and OR (+) operations.
  2. Expression 2: (ABCD)(BD)(A \cdot B' \cdot C \cdot D') \oplus (B \cdot D')

    • ABCDA \cdot B' \cdot C \cdot D': A logical AND of AA, the complement of BB, CC, and the complement of DD.
    • \oplus: XOR (exclusive OR) operation.
    • BDB \cdot D': Logical AND of BB and the complement of DD.

Now, these two parts are combined using an OR (XOR, logical addition):

F=(AB+C)OR((ABCD)(BD))F = (A \cdot B' + C') \, \text{OR} \, ((A \cdot B' \cdot C \cdot D') \oplus (B \cdot D'))

This combines two distinct logical expressions into a single output FF.
