Question
a) Using Boolean algebra, show that the following two expressions are equivalent:F 1= A'BC + AB'C + ABC' + ABCF2 = (A+ B+C). (A+B+C'). (A+ B'+C) (A'+ B+C)These two expressions represent the majority function in sum-of-products and product-of-sums form.
Solution
To prove that the two expressions are equivalent, we can simplify the second expression (F2) using Boolean algebra and see if it results in the first expression (F1).
Step 1: Expand F2 using the distributive law of Boolean algebra, which states that A(B + C) = AB + AC.
F2 = (A+ B+C). (A+B+C'). (A+ B'+C) (A'+ B+C) = [(A+B+C) . (A+B+C')] . [(A+B+C) . (A+B'+C)] = [(A+B) + CC'] . [(A+B) + C'C] = [(A+B) + 0] . [(A+B) + 0] = (A+B) . (A+B)
Step 2: Use the idempotent law, which states that A.A = A
F2 = (A+B)
This is not equivalent to F1. Therefore, there might be a mistake in the problem statement as the two expressions F1 and F2 are not equivalent based on Boolean algebra.
