Solution
The question asks to express the values of the Boolean functions using a truth table. I will create a truth table for each of the four Boolean functions (a, b, c, and d). Let me break down each function and solve it step-by-step.
- Variables: We have three Boolean variables: , , and . Each variable can take a value of 0 (false) or 1 (true).
- Truth Table: A full truth table for 3 variables will have rows, covering all combinations of , , and .
Let's calculate the output for each function and build the truth table.Here is the truth table for the given Boolean functions:
x | y | z | F(a) = ¬x y | F(b) = x + y¬z | F(c) = xy + x(yz) | F(d) = x(yz + ¬yz) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
This table provides the output for each function , , , and based on all possible values of , , and .
Do you need further details or any clarifications?
Here are 5 additional questions to explore the topic further:
- What are the applications of Boolean functions in digital circuits?
- How can Boolean functions be minimized using Karnaugh maps?
- How do De Morgan's laws apply to the functions presented in this table?
- How would the truth table change if we had more variables?
- Can you express these Boolean functions in terms of logic gates?
Tip: Truth tables are a key tool in simplifying Boolean expressions and are widely used in designing digital circuits.
