    Engineering Can a Circuit with 2 Not Gates Negate 3 Inputs?

    Hi, Homework Statement You are trying to design a circuit with 3 inputs and 3 outputs. The circuit should negate each of its inputs. e.g. A-> not A, B-> not B, C-> not C. Clearly we can do this using 3 'not' gate. Is it possible to do this using 2 'not' gates and an unlimited number of...

    Solving a Calculus Equation with u and v Variables

    Hi, This is a question in my calculus book that is frustrating me! By changing variables to u and v, where u=\alpha(x)y and v=y/x with a suitable function \alpha(x) to be determined, find the general solution of the equation x\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} - 2y\frac{\partial f}{\partial...
