  1. Use truth tables to verify each of the following:
    1. DeMorgan's theorem for three variables: $\overline{XYZ} =
\overline{X} + \overline{Y} + \overline{Z}$.

    2. Identity 15 (from Sept. 12's notes).

    3. $\overline{X}Y +\overline{Y}Z +X\overline{Z} = X\overline{Y} +
Y\overline{Z} + \overline{X}Z$

  2. Use Boolean manipulation to verify each of the following:
    1. $\overline{X} \cdot \overline{Y} + \overline{X}Y + XY =
\overline{X} + Y$

    2. $\overline{A}B + \overline{B} \cdot \overline{C} + AB +
\overline{B}C = 1$

    3. $(X + Y)(X + \overline{Y}) = X$

    4. $X (X + Y) = X$
