For the Boolean function F(x, y, z) = xy'z + x'y + x'z + yz, (a) express this function as a sum of minterms, and (b) find the minimal sum-of-products expression.

Answer: F(x, y, z) = m1 + m2 + m3 + m5 + m7 = z + x'y

In the above question do you see how the sum of minterms in the provided answer is obtained from the given Boolean function F(x, y, z)? Could you algebraically or using the truth

table obtain the sum of the minterms for the function F(x, y, z)?

Show the steps (details) on how to obtain the sum of minterms for the function F(x, y, z) algebraically and using its truth table.
