Your Answer for Question 1:
The maximum number of terms (products) in the function's canonical sum-of-products representation is 2^N.  For N inputs, there are 2^N possible input combinations.  Since the number of terms in the sum-of-products representation is the number of 1's in the output, there are 2^N terms corresponding with the maximum 2^N number of 1's in the output.

Your Answer for Question 2:
A bus connects two different digital devices together, allowing them to communicate with each other.  Defined bus standards parts to be moved from one machine to another if they share the same bus standard.

Your Answer for Question 3:
y = a.a + a.b + a.not(b)      Given.
y =  a  + a.b + a.not(b)      Idempotent law
y =  a  + a.(b + not(b))      Distributive Law
y =  a  + a.(1)               Complementarity
y =  a  +  a                  Identity
y =  a                        Idempotent law
