May 5, 2019 at 13:29 comment added lightsodium but i have not to simplify it to read out the DNF form? I could just work with the original equation?

May 5, 2019 at 13:01 comment added RoyC You can't you have to use the laws of boolean algebra to get to (bc' + bd'). After you put this in your truth table you can read out the DNF form.
May 5, 2019 at 12:42 comment added lightsodium "that looks good your original equation reduces to (bc' + bd')": how can I read this just out of the truth table? and not by using laws to reduce the equation
May 5, 2019 at 12:22 comment added lightsodium oh,thanks! so it still would be y= a'bc'd' + a'bc'd + a'bcd' + abc'd' + abc'd+abcd'
May 5, 2019 at 12:19 comment added RoyC @lightsodium DNF requires all the variables to be present in all of the terms.
May 5, 2019 at 12:17 comment added lightsodium the simplified boolean equation would be b(c'+d'), so i could simplify the DNF to y= bc'd' + bc'd + bcd' + bc'd' + bc'd+bcd' , right?
