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

Engineering

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.

Which option identifies why Ethan’s skills are valuable to his team in the following scenario?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The options are:

- In an isometric drawing, multiple angles and axes can be shown in one sketch.

- There is no room for detail in an isometric drawing, so the detail is shown in the orthographic projection.

- Only one sketch will be needed since all other previous designs will no longer be necessary.

- Computer programs will not be necessary to create the exact dimensions of the design.

Orthographic projections are in either the First or Third Angles but the angles are fixed and do not provide perspective view.  Isometric drawings are perspective views from different angles.

So Ethan's skill is valuable because "In an isometric drawing, multiple angles and axes can be shown in one sketch."

<h3>How to code?</h3>
  • We connect with computers through coding, often understood as computer programming.
  • Coding exists similar to writing a set of instructions because it instructs a machine what to do.
  • You can instruct computers what to do or how to behave much more quickly by learning to write code.

class ICalculator {

int currentValue;

int add(int value) {

this.currentValue = currentValue + value;

return currentValue;

}

int sub(int value) {

this.currentValue = currentValue - value;

return currentValue;

}

int mul(int value) {

this.currentValue = currentValue * value;

return currentValue;

}

int div(int value) {

this.currentValue = currentValue / value;

return currentValue;

}

}

public class ICalculator2 extends ICalculator {

int negate() {

if (currentValue != 0)

this.currentValue = -currentValue;

return currentValue;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

ICalculator2 ic = new ICalculator2();

ic.currentValue=5;

System.out.println(ic.add(2));

System.out.println(ic.sub(5));

System.out.println(ic.mul(3));

System.out.println(ic.div(3));

System.out.println(ic.negate());

}

}

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct option is B) Balance Sheet

Explanation:

A Balance Sheet offers a description of a company's obligations, assets, and investments as well as net income over a given span of time such as a period of 6 months or 12 months, for instance.

Also known as the Statement of Financial Position, it contains sufficient information for investors and business owners to determine the company's financial performance in that period as well as to compare the performance of that company with industry norms or competition.
