QUESTION: Simplify the Boolean expression to a minimum number of literals: xy +
yz + xz
ANSWER: xy + xz
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
xy + yz + xz = xy(z + z) + yz(x+ x) + xz(y + y)
= xyz + xyz + yzx + yzx + xzy+ xzy
= xyz + xyz + xyz + xyz
= xy(z + z) + xz(y + y)

QUESTION: Assume we need to download text documents at the rate of 100 pages per
minute. What is the required bit rate of the channel?

ANSWER: 1.636 Mbps
SOLUTION ( IF PROBLEM -SOLVING)
A page is an average of 24 lines with 80 characters in each line. If assume that
one character requires 8 bits, the bit rate is:
Bit rate = (100)(24)(80)(8)
= 1 636 000 bps
Bit rate = 1.636 Mbps
