| Question 1191165:  Simplify the following functions using a K-map
 a. F(X, Y) = m2 + m3
 b. F(X, Y) = X + X’Y
 c. F(X, Y) = X’ + XY’
 d. F(X, Y, Z) = m0 + m2 + m5 + m7
 e. F(X, Y,Z) = X’Y’Z’ +   X’YZ + XY’Z + XYZ
 
 Can you please explain to me this homework question step-by-step? Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's the simplification of the given functions using K-maps: **a. F(X, Y) = m2 + m3**
 ```
 Y
 X  0  1
 0  0  1  (m2)
 1  0  1  (m3)
 ```
 Grouping m2 and m3, we get:
 F(X, Y) = Y
 **b. F(X, Y) = X + X’Y**
 ```
 Y
 X  0  1
 0  1  1
 1  1  1
 ```
 Grouping all the 1s, we get:
 F(X, Y) = 1
 **c. F(X, Y) = X’ + XY’**
 ```
 Y
 X  0  1
 0  1  1
 1  1  0
 ```
 Grouping the top row and the single 1 at X=1, Y=0 we get:
 F(X, Y) = X' + Y'
 **d. F(X, Y, Z) = m0 + m2 + m5 + m7**
 ```
 YZ
 X  00  01  11  10
 0  1   0   1   1
 1  0   1   1   0
 ```
 Grouping m0 and m2, and m5 and m7:
 F(X, Y, Z) = X’Y’ + YZ
 **e. F(X, Y,Z) = X’Y’Z’ + X’YZ + XY’Z + XYZ**
 ```
 YZ
 X  00  01  11  10
 0  1   1   0   1
 1  1   1   1   1
 ```
 Grouping the top row, and the bottom row, we get:
 F(X, Y, Z) = Y' + Z
