Here's the Solution to this Question

Let's write the expression in conjunctive normal form:

{x_1} \vee {x_2} \wedge {x_3} \vee {x_4} = {x_1} \vee {x_4} \vee {x_2} \wedge {x_3} = \left( {{x_1} \vee {x_2} \vee {x_4}} \right) \wedge \left( {{x_1} \vee {x_3} \vee {x_4}} \right)

{x_1},\,{x_2} \wedge {x_3},\,\,{x_4}\, are elementary conjunctions, so the expression is already written in disjunctive normal form: {x_1} \vee {x_2} \wedge {x_3} \vee {x_4} = {x_1} \vee \left( {{x_2} \wedge {x_3}} \right) \vee {x_4}

Answer: CNF: \left( {{x_1} \vee {x_2} \vee {x_4}} \right) \wedge \left( {{x_1} \vee {x_3} \vee {x_4}} \right) , DNF: {x_1} \vee \left( {{x_2} \wedge {x_3}} \right) \vee {x_4}
