Consider the following propositional formula:

((A ^ B) -> C) ^ (A ^ C -> D)) -> ((A ^ B) -> D)

Perform the following task for this formula:

  1. Convert this formula into CNF form and write a numbered list of all clauses obtained from this formula. Use the truth-table method to determine if this formula is valid, satisfiable, or unsatisfiable.

Answer #1

CNF - CONJUNCTIONAL NORMAL FORM

and it is the product of sums(AND of OR's) .

CNF = (A v B ->C)^(A v C->D) ->(A v B->D)

Here is the truth table :

Yes the given formula is valid as per the truth table. Because all are true values

Consider the following Boolean expression (a + b) . (a + c). Provide a simpler expression (fewer gates) that is equivalent. Show that your expression is equivalent by building truth tables for both expressions in the same way as we've done before. 1a. Imagine that you have designed a circuit that uses N expressions of the form (a + b) . (a + c). We replace each of these with your solution to question 1. How many fewer transistors will...

Mr Ali is undergraduate student of engineering in a University. His registration ID is of six hexadecimal numbers (171457)16. He needs to understand some useful operations in digital logic design so he represented each character of his registration ID as a four-bit number in a truth table of 16 input output relations. Then he assigned HIGH output to each four-bit number of his registration id and its succeeding number (all other outputs will then be zero). Your task is to...
