Simplifying Boolean Expression with Boolean Algebra

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on simplifying the Boolean expression f(x,y,z)=(x+y+z')(x+y'+z')(x'+y'+z). Participants suggest using multiplication and simplification techniques, emphasizing the importance of applying Boolean algebra rules like distribution and the identity aa'=0. One participant expresses uncertainty about whether the query is for homework, which limits their ability to provide a direct answer. The advice includes breaking down the expression step-by-step to achieve a simplified form. Overall, the conversation highlights collaborative problem-solving in Boolean algebra simplification.

can anyone help me simplify this expression..
f(x,y,z)=(x+y+z')(x+y'+z')(x'+y'+z)..
:confused:

OK, not sure whether this is homework or not, so I can't give you an answer, (even if mine's right at the moment), so I suggest you "multiply it out" and simplify what can and see if we get the same answer.
 
use this rule (a + b)c = ac + bc repeatedly.
you also have aa'= 0

hope this helps
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
