Question
**Boolean Algebra Simplification and Complementation**

**Problem Set:**

a) **Simplify the following Boolean expression to a minimum number of literals:**

   \[
   xyz + x'y + xyz'
   \]

b) **Simplify the following Boolean expression:**

   \[
   (A+B)'(A'+B)
   \]

c) **Find the complement of the following expression:**

   \[
   xy'+x'y
   \]

d) **Simplify the following function using a Karnaugh map:**

   \[
   F(w, x, y, z) = w'z + xz + x'y + wx'z
   \]

**Explanation:**

- Each problem involves either simplifying or finding the complement of Boolean expressions.
- A Karnaugh map is a method to simplify Boolean expressions graphically. It involves arranging truth values in a way that makes common patterns more apparent, allowing simplification by grouping terms.
