Can someone teach me how to find all valid minterms of any given truth table?

Engineering
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

A minterm is a product of variables, in which each variable appears exactly once, either complemented or not. When a truth table is represented in a sum of products form, there is one minterm for each line in the table for which the output is True (1).

Suppose I have a truth table as follows, with inputs A, B and output Z.

  <u>AB Z</u>

  00 1

  01 0

  10 1

  11 0

When I write the minterms, I use a complemented variable where the input is 0, and an uncomplemented variable where the input is 1. The minterm is expressed as a product of those variables.

Here, there are 2 lines in the table with outputs Z=1. The input conditions AB for those outputs are 00 and 10, so the corresponding minterms are A'B' and AB', where the apostrophe indicates the variable is complemented.

This table is then represented by the sum of products ...

  Z = A'B' + AB'

You have all of the valid minterms when you have one for each line of the table where the output is 1.

<em>Comment on truth table representation</em>

Truth tables can be represented a number of ways. A nice representation for the purpose of identifying minterms is a list of the output for every possible combination of inputs. We have used that form above.

Sometimes, you may see minterms listed as decimal numbers in the range of 0 to 2^n -1 when there are n input variables. Then, the minterms are developed from the binary equivalents of those decimal numbers.

<u>Example</u>:

Logic with 4 input variables has minterms 7, 8, and 15. The binary equivalents of these numbers are 0111, 1000, 1111. The corresponding minterms (for inputs a, b, c, d) are a'bcd + ab'c'd' + abcd = z. Three numbers are listed, so we know we have all of the valid minterms when we have three corresponding minterms.

<em>Additional comment</em>

In some cases, outputs will be listed as "don't care." Another set of minterms can be generated for the don't cares. These can be used in the logic minimization process.

A negative pressure respirator brings fresh air to you through a hose<br>A) True<br>B)False​
madreJ [45]

Answer:FALSE

Explanation: A negative pressure respirator is a respiratory system which is known to have a low air pressure inside the mask when compared to the air pressure on the outside during Inhalation.

Most of the personal protective equipment (PPE) which are in use in various industries are examples of Negative pressure respirator device,any leak or damage done to the device will allow the inflows of harmful and toxic Air into the person's respiratory system. AIR SUPPLY SYSTEMS ARE KNOWN TO SUPPLY FRESH UNCONTAMINATED AIR THROUGH AIR STORED INSIDE COMPRESSED CYLINDERS OR OTHER SOURCES AVAILABLE.

g A pedometer treats walking 2,000 steps as walking 1 mile. Write a program whose input is the number of steps, and whose output
Nataly [62]

Answer:

# Program is written in Python Programming Language

# Comments are used for explanatory purpose

# Program starts here

# Accept input

Steps = input (Number of Steps: ")

# Calculate distance

distance = float(2000) * float(steps)

#Print Formatted Result

print('%0.2f' % distance)

# End of Program

.--------

The above program converts number of steps to miles.

At line 5, the number of steps is inputted and stored in variable named Steps.

At line 6, the number of miles is calculated by multiplying 2000 by the content of variable Steps

The result is printed at line 8

Consider a space shuttle weighing 100 kN. It is travelling at 310 m/s for 30 minutes. At the same time, it descends 2200 m. Cons
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

Explanation:

given data

mass = 100 kN

velocity =  310 m/s

time = 30 min = 1800 s

drag force = 12 kN

descends = 2200 m

to find out

work done by the shuttle engine

solution

we know that work done here is

work done = accelerating work - drag work - descending work

put here all value

work done = ( mass ×velocity ×time  - force ×velocity ×time  - mass ×descends )  10³ J

work done = ( 100 × 310 × 1800  - 12×310 ×1800  - 100 × 2200 )  10³ J

work done = 48.88 × 10^{9} J

It has a piece of 1045 steel with the following dimensions, length of 80 cm, width of 30 cm, and a height of 15 cm. In this piec
Serggg [28]

Answer:

material remove in 3 min is 16790.4 mm³/s

Explanation:

given data

length L = 80 cm = 800 mm

width W = 30 cm

height H = 15 cm

make grove length = 80 cm

width = 8 cm

depth = 10 cm

mill toll diameter = 4 mm

axial cutting depth = 20 mm

to find out

How much material removed in 3 minutes

solution

first we find time taken for length of advance that is

time = \frac{length}{advance}

here advance is given as 0.001166 mts / sec

so  time = \frac{800}}{0.001166*1000}

time = 686.106 seconds

now we find material remove rate that is

remove rate = mill toll rate × axial cutting depth × advance

remove rate = 4 × 20×0.001166 ×1000

remove rate = 93.28 mm³/s

so

material remove in 3 minute = 3 × 60 = 180 sec

so material remove in 3 min = 180 × 93.28

material remove in 3 min is 16790.4 mm³/s

What is an advantage of using a fully integrated cloud-based data analytics platform?
sweet [91]

Answer:

It gives decision-makers the processing capacity they need to turn raw data into useful knowledge.

Explanation:

Data analysis and the associated cycles (data integration, aggregation, hoarding, and revealing) are totally or partially directed in the cloud with cloud analytics.
