It is defined in the following table. xVy F x Y TT TF T FT T FF F (a) Prove that aVy is logically equivalent to (Ay) V ((-x)^y). (b) Prove that Vy is logically equivalent to (x Vy)^(-(x^y)). (c) Explain why the operation V is called exclusive or. (Scheinerman, Exercise 7.16:) Here is another Boolean operation called clusive or; it is denoted by the symbol V.
