i really need someone to me verify my answer. i will be having my exam next week and iam stuck :(. please iam really stuck on some of this question.
' this is not

'' this is not, not

1. F = B.(A''. B' . C')

2. F = A. (A''+ B' + C')

3. F = A . (B''.C') + A . (B + C')

4. F = (A'' + B'') + A . B

5. F = A'.B'+C'+A.(B'+C')

6. F= A'. B+ D.(C+D') + A. B' . C' . D

7. F = A. C'.D'+(A''.B'.C') + (A''.B')

8. F = A.B'.C' + A'.B.C.D + A'.B.C'+A.B'C.D


MY ANSWERS

1. F=BA'.BC'
2 F=A.AB.AC'
3. F= AB + AC
4. F=A.B

step by step solution

1. AB'+BB'+BC' (use complements laws B.B'=0)
= AB'+BC'

2. AA.AB'.AC' ( Use idempotency A.A= A)
=A.AB'.AC'

3. AB+AC+AB+AC(use idempotency A+A=A)
=AB+AC

4. (A.B)+A.B ( i think this one is wrong)
=A.AB.AB.B
=A.B

1. AB'+BB'+BC' (use complements laws B.B=0)
= AB'+BC'
This is incorrect. B AND B' = 0.

2. AA.AB'.AC' ( Use idempotency A.A= A)
=A.AB'.AC'
This is incorrect as well.

3. AB+AC+AB+AC(use idempotency A+A=A)
=AB+AC
This is incorrect.
4. (A.B)+A.B ( i think this one is wrong)
=A.AB.AB.B=A.B
Incorrect.

I'll explain 1, and you should take it from there:
1. F = B.(A''. B' . C')
First, get rid of the silly '' things A'' = A.
1. F = B.(A . B' . C')
Notice that they are all AND operations, so you can just drop the parenthesis.
1. F = B. A''. B' . C'
You can also swap the order (AND is commutative)
1. F = A''. B. B' . C'
B.B' = 0
1. F = A''. 0 . C'
Anything AND 0 = 0
1. F = 0

y do you have 1. F = B. A''. B' . C'

A'' = A but you have put it back there after you have drop it

you have A''

your no 1 is incorrect,it is 0.
about no 2-it is A+A.B'+A.C'
reduction-A(A"+B'+c')
=AA"+AB'+AC'
A+AB'+AC'
no-3,it seems to be ok although my technique is different,i checked with K-map
no-4-
(A"+B")+A.B
=A+B+A.B
=A(1+B)+B
=A+B (1+X=1)
no 5-
A'B'+C'+A(B'+c')
=A'B'+C'+AB'+AC'
=B'(A+A')+C'(1+A)
=B'+C'

I think you can carry on now-if confused use k-map to check
