Obtain POS expressions for the following by using distributive laws and theorem of factoring, eliminate redundant terms.
(a) (2 points) (xy + x 0 z)
(b) (3 points) (ab0 f + a 0 cf)(a 0 bcf + c 0 f(d + e))

Answer:

a)   (y+ Oz)

b) (ab + ac)(abc + cd + ce)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) xy + xOz  (First find the common factor between xy and xOz, and it is x as it appears in both xy and xOz. Factoring out x will result in

 x(y+ Oz)

There are no more common factors thus the answer is x(y + Oz)

Since the question was asking after removing redundant terms it will on be y + Oz

b) (ab0 f + a 0 cf)(a 0 bcf + c 0 f(d + e))  simplfying the expression

(ab0 f + a 0 cf)(aObcf + cOfd + cOfe) common factor Of is factored out as below

Of[ (ab + ac)(abc + cd + ce) ] therefore after removing redundant terms the answer is (ab + ac)(abc + cd + ce)
