PROCEDURES
Part I
1. Show the output of each gate in terms of input variables. Tabulate the results
in Table 1.
2. Derive a Boolean expression for the output F shown in Figure 1.
3. Simplify the Boolean expression derived from step 2 by using the appropriate
Boolean laws.
4. Draw the new logic circuit that corresponds to the simplified equation.
5. Construct and compare both the circuits.
