Solution Summary

Wherever applicable, solution mentions the law used to arrive at current step from previous step.

Solution Preview

In the following solution, ' is used to indicate the complement.

F'(x,y,z) = (xy + x'z + yz')'
= (xy + x'z)'(yz')' -- Using (A + B)' = A'B'
= (xy)'(x'z)'(yz') -- Using (A + B)' = A'B'
= (x' + y')((x')' + z')(y' + (z')') -- Using (AB)' = A' + B'
= (x' + ...
