Homework 3

This homework consists of 8 questions. Please find the corresponding questions from
Section 3.8 in your textbook.
1. (0.4 points) Plot the following function on the K-map: f = ab’ + a’b’c +
bc’d’ + a’bc’d + abcd’. You have to circle each rectangle that represents a
product term in the function and pull a line from each rectangle to specify the
corresponding term.
I did this one in class, so I won’t do it here. All it wanted was for you to circle
each term that you put into the table, no simplification.
2. (0.3 points) Problem 2.a.
Answer: b + a’c
3. (0.4 points) Problem 2.d.
Answer: a’c + a’d + bd + cd + ab’c’d’
4. (0.4 points) Problem 2.h. Remember to show both of the 2 solutions.
Answer: x’y + w’y + wxz + wy’z’
5. (0.4 points) Problem 2.k. Remember to show both of the 2 solutions.
Answer 1: w’y’ + yz’ + wz
Answer 2: w’z’ + y’z + wy
6. (0.4 points) Problem 3.a. Answer both i and ii.
Stars show essential primes
Answer: c’d’ + ab + bc’ + b’cd
7. (0.9 points) Problem 5.a. Remember to show all 3 solutions.
3 answers here:
wx’y’z’ + xyz’ + w’x’z + wyz
wx’y’z’ + xyz’ + x’yz + w’y’z
wx’y’z’ + xyz’ + w’x’z + x’yz
8. (0.8 points) Problem 7.g. Note that the problem requires you to find all of the
minimum SOP expressions and also all of the minimum POS expressions.
For SOP make standard K-map:
SOP Answers:
ad + a’bd’ + b’cd’
ad + a’bd’ + ab’c
Change empty spaces to 1s and 1s to empty spaces for POS
So this is f’
f’ = a’d + abc + b’c’d’
f’ = a’d + abc + a’b’c’
now
f = (a + d’)(a’ + b’ + c’)(b + c + d)
f = (a + d’)(a’ + b’ + c’)(a + b + c)
