Boolean expression from logic circuit
Figure 6 shows a different logic circuit.
Write a Boolean expression that represents the logic circuit shown in Figure 6.
You must use the correct symbols for the Boolean operators in your expression.
Write your answer first. You can study the marking guidance whenever you need it.
Study the marking See what earns credit and compare it with a full-mark answer.
Marking points
- 1 Combines B and C using the correct AND symbol.
- 2 Combines the two circuit branches using the correct OR symbol.
- 3 Shows NOT A with an unambiguous overbar over A.
Full-mark answer
Q = overline{A} + B cdot C
Why this answer loses marks
I wrote the gate operations as words instead of Boolean symbols.
The circuit must be represented with the required Boolean operator notation while preserving its operation order.
