Homework Statement
Simplify the following Boolean expressions to a minimum number of literals
(a+b+c')(a'b'+c)
2. The attempt at a solution
Whenever I tried this I made no progress in reducing the number of literals, I just reordered the expression.
(a+b+c')(a'b'+c)
=aa'b'+a'bb'+a'b'c'+ac+bc+cc'
=0b'+a'0+a'b'c'+ac+bc+0
=0+0+a'+b'+c'+ac+bc+0
=a'b'c'+ac+bc
=a'b'c'+c(a+b)
I began with 6 literals and ended with 6. What else can I try?
