Help with Truth Table question?

Question

Can someone help me with this truth table:


H= wx + xy' + wx'z' + xyz' + w'xy'

Answer 1

Make your input column of for wxyz 16 lines from 0000 to 1111

Write 5 output colums for wx, xy', wx'z', etc.

Figure the column for wz, then for xy', etc. When you have all 5 output colums completed, do the final 'OR' function for H.

I'll do the wx'z' column for you, you can do the rest.

w x y z . wx'z'
