Hi guys I have a digital design hw with this question.

Simplify F = w’x (z’ + y’z) + x (w + w’yz) in POS using algebraic manipulations

I know how to simplify this equation normally and the answer would be equal to x

But I do not understand how am i supposed to simplify it in pos(product of sum)

Open this link and see how I regularly simplified it normally but how do I do it in pos

Other than a typo in your third line, I don't see a problem.

You might want to be more explicit in your second two simplifications (like you were in the first).

I don't know what they mean by "simplify in POS". I think what you did is reasonable in that you first expressed it in POS.

Yeah I am only confused about the part “ in pos” like is there a way to simplify in product of sum or sum of products or is it just regular simplification like I did.
