AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on implementing a Boolean function F using NOR gates and understanding the concept of "don't care" conditions in Boolean algebra. The function F is defined by specific minterms and don't care conditions, which allow flexibility in the design. One participant expresses confusion about the meaning of "d," which is clarified as "don't care," indicating that certain values can be either 1 or 0 for simplification. The second part of the task involves implementing the function using different gate configurations, with some uncertainty about the correct approach. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding Boolean function implementation and the role of don't care conditions in circuit design.

Homework Statement


1. Implement the following Boolean function F using no more than two NOR gates and draw the circuit.F(A,B,C,D)=∑(0,1,2,9,11)+d(8,10,14,15)
2. Implement the following Boolean function using two - level forms:
NAND - AND
OR - NAND and

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


The first one is kinda easy but I didn't what's the meaning of d.
The second one I'm actually Confused about the solution .First one is I draw NAND then AND
is this correct.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The d means does not matter. So that values of 8, 10, 14 and 15 can be either 1 or 0, whichever gives the neatest solution. I'm unsure about the second part, sorry.
 
Thank you for replying .Now,I know 'd' what's mean it's don't care .

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
