Final answer:

To write the function in POS form, we need to expand the brackets, multiply the expanded brackets, and apply the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is (A+B)(C+D)(Aˉ+B+D).

To write the expression in the POS form (Product of Sums), we need to:

  1. Expand each bracket to get:
  • (A+B) = A+B
  • (C+D) = C+D
  • (Aˉ+B+D) = A'BD+B+D
Multiply the expanded brackets to get:
  • (A+B)(C+D)(Aˉ+B+D) = (A+B)(C+D)(A'BD+B+D)
Apply the distributive property to simplify:
  • (A+B)(C+D)(A'BD+B+D) = (A+C)(A+D)(A'BD+B+D)
