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


Homework Equations





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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
