Math Problem Statement
Map the following standard SOP expression on a K -map
Solution
The new Sum of Products (SOP) expression you uploaded is:
This is the same as the previous expression:
- → (binary 011)
- → (binary 101)
- → (binary 110)
- → (binary 111)
Let's map this onto the Karnaugh map (K-map) again. Since the expression is unchanged from before, we will get the same K-map result as previously outlined.
K-map Setup
Here’s the filled K-map for the expression:
AB \ C | 00 | 01 | 11 | 10 |
---|---|---|---|---|
00 | ||||
01 | 1 | 1 | ||
11 | 1 | 1 | ||
10 |
Next Step: Simplifying using K-map Grouping
From the K-map, we can see that we have four ones. To simplify, we group the 1s to find a minimal Boolean expression.
- Group 1: (011) and (111) can be grouped together vertically. This simplifies to .
- Group 2: (101) and (111) can be grouped together horizontally. This simplifies to .
Thus, the simplified expression is:
Let me know if you'd like further steps or have any questions.
Follow-up questions:
- Would you like a step-by-step explanation on how the grouping was done?
- Should I simplify a more complex expression involving four or more variables?
- Do you want to see how this simplified expression can reduce the hardware requirements in digital logic?
- Would you like to see another example with different minterms?
- Do you need help with another type of Boolean simplification method (like Quine-McCluskey)?
