Homework Statement


I need to create a circuit using an NAND gate and somehow manipulate it (Using no other components) to have the same output values as an AND gate, Obviously the simple solution would be to just run the NAND gate into a NOT gate to get the output of an AND gate, but the instructions say to only use one gate, is this possible?

This is the program we are using to create the circuits

The Attempt at a Solution



I have tried every combination i can think of, any help or insight is appreciated as I am new to the idea of circuits Thanks in advance for any help, i really appreciate it

Are you sure they don't mean only one TYPE of gate?
You can certainly implement a AND with two NANDs
