1. **Problem Statement:** Given the Boolean function $$f(x,y,z) = (xy'z') + (y'z) + x'$$, find the truth table.
2. **Formula and Rules:** To find the truth table, evaluate $$f$$ for all combinations of $$x, y, z$$ where each variable can be 0 or 1.
3. **Step-by-step Evaluation:**
| x | y | z | Calculation | f(x,y,z) |
|---|---|---|-------------|----------|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | $$x=0, y=0, z=0$$
$$xy'z' = 0 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 0$$
$$y'z = 1 \cdot 0 = 0$$
$$x' = 1$$
$$f = 0 + 0 + 1 = 1$$ | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | $$xy'z' = 0 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 0$$
$$y'z = 1 \cdot 1 = 1$$
$$x' = 1$$
$$f = 0 + 1 + 1 = 1$$ | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | $$xy'z' = 0 \cdot 0 \cdot 1 = 0$$
$$y'z = 0 \cdot 0 = 0$$
$$x' = 1$$
$$f = 0 + 0 + 1 = 1$$ but the original function has $$f=0$$ here, so re-check:
Actually, $$y' = 0$$ because $$y=1$$, so $$y' = 0$$
$$y'z = 0 \cdot 0 = 0$$
$$xy'z' = 0 \cdot 0 \cdot 1 = 0$$
$$x' = 1$$
So $$f=1$$ but the table says 0, so the original function might have a typo or the table is for a different function.
Since the user gave a truth table for question 2, and question 1 is about the function $$f(x,y,z) = (xy'z') + (y'z) + x'$$, we proceed with the function.
4. **Final Truth Table:**
| x | y | z | f(x,y,z) |
|---|---|---|----------|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
This matches the evaluation of the function.
**Answer:** The truth table is as above.
