AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around implementing the expression (A+B)(A+C) using NAND gates and DeMorgan's Law. The original poster is struggling with the diagram and has attempted to simplify the expression but is confused about the next steps. A response clarifies that the double-negated form is not A.B + A.C and suggests expanding and simplifying the expression further. Additionally, guidance is provided on how to create and upload a circuit diagram. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding both the mathematical and visual aspects of the problem.

Homework Statement


Hi
I am struggling with the diagram of this question. Can anyone help? I would have loaded my diagram but unsure how to do it. This is the question:

Starting with the following statement (A+B).(A+C), show how this can be implemented using NAND gates using DeMorgans law.



Cheers

The Attempt at a Solution


After doubly negating, I obtained (A.B) + (A.C). And this is where I get stuck.
Please help. I have a deadline looming this week.

Try to expand and then simplify the expression first.

Thanks for a response. I am okay with the maths but unsure about the actual diagram. Any pointers? Thanks.
 
The double-negated (A+B).(A+C) is not A.B+A.C.

If you do not know how to draw the diagram, see http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/gates.htm. Copy the figures and construct the circuit from them.
If you do not know how to upload it into your post, click on "Go Advanced".

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
