Given write its canonical form.
Given $F(P, Q, R) = \pi(0, 1, 4, 7)$ write its canonical form.
Answer
Answer
AI$F(P,Q,R) = \pi(0,1,4,7)$ means the maxterms are $M_0,M_1,M_4,M_7$:
$M_0=(P+Q+R)$, $M_1=(P+Q+R')$, $M_4=(P'+Q+R)$, $M_7=(P'+Q'+R')$
Canonical (POS) form:
$F(P,Q,R) = (P+Q+R)\cdot(P+Q+R')\cdot(P'+Q+R)\cdot(P'+Q'+R')$
