1. For the Boolean function F = xy'z + x'y'z + w'xy + wx'y + wxy (a) Obtain the truth table of F. (b) Draw the logic diagram, using the original Boolean expression. (c) Use Boolean algebra to simplify the function to a minimum number of literals. (d) Obtain the truth table of the function from the simplified expression and show that it is the same as the one in part (a). (e) Draw the logic diagram from the simplified expression, and compare the total number of gates with the diagram of part (b). (f) Implement the logic circuit of (c) using only NOR gates.

Use a table to express the values of each of these Boolean functions. a) $F(x, y, z)=\overline{z}$ b) $F(x, y, z)=\overline{x} y+\overline{y} z$ c) $F(x, y, z)=x \overline{y} z+\overline{(x y z)}$ d) $F(x, y, z)=\overline{y}(x z+\overline{x} \overline{z})$

Construct a switching circuit to meet the requirements of the Boolean expression: $Z=A \cdot \bar{C}+\bar{A} \cdot B+\bar{A} \cdot B \cdot \bar{C}$. Construct the truth table for this circuit. The three terms joined by or-functions, $(+)$, indicate three parallel branches,
