Using axioms, or theorems already proved, prove each of the following:
(i) X + X .Y = X + Y
(ii) X .( X + Y ) = X .Y
(iii) X .Y + X .Z + Y .Z = X .Y + X .Z (iv) ( X + Y ).( X + Z ).(Y + Z ) = ( X + Y ).( X + Z )
Simplify each of the following:
(i) A.B.C + A.B + A.B.C
(ii) X .Y .Z + X .Z (iii) ( X + Y ) .( X + Y )
(iv) A.C + A.B.C + A.C
(v) ( B.C + A.D ).( A.B + C .D )
If F = X + Y .Z find F . Hence verify F .F = 0 and F + F = 1
(a) Determine the logic function implemented by the circuit shown.
(b) Simplify the function and hence give an alternative logic circuit for the function and
implement it using NAND gates only.
