so I created the K-Map for the problem and was able to simplify this way, but the instructor is making us start from the original problem. I don't necessarily won't people to answer so I can just have a solution, but rather so I can see the work and steps that people who know what they're doing take.
So the problem is...
B! C! D! + A! B C! D! +A B C! D! + A! B! C D + A B! C D + A! B! C D! + A B C D! + A B! C D!
The exclamation points represent NOT while the spaces are to make it easier on the eyes, but they still represent AND. When I tried to do this on my own, I started by taking out the different CD combinations that worked, but I keep simplifying the stuff left over in the parentheses after factoring wrong. I am really struggling, but when I simplified the K-Map, my answer was D! ( A + C! ) + B! C
Please help me!
