Hello
Answer DQ 1 and DQ 2 with 135 words for each and reference for each.
DQ 1:
Assessment Descriiption
Watch the following TedEd video:
http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-transistors-work-gokul-j-krishnan
Research the definitions and theorems about logic gates in Chapter 12. At marker 1:44 in the video, the narrator suggests two circuits that perform binary operations.
Analyze these circuits and state how they function. What gate does each component of both circuits represent? Do each circuit properly define a binary operation on numbers? If so, what base system are the operations defined in (for instance, our number system is decimal, meaning we work in base 10)? How many bits do the circuits in the video compute?
Confirm your analysis by taking two numbers and combing them through the circuits in the video.
DQ 2:
Assessment Descriiption
At this point in the course, you may be experiencing déjà vu. In fact, in some sense you have come full circle. It is no coincidence that Boolean algebra feels much like our first unit in logic, because it is built on these very principles!
Boolean algebra can be loosely described as operations on variables (algebra) where the variables assume values of either true or false (logic). That is, Boolean algebra is the algebra of logic.
Recall DeMorgan’s truth tables. Reconstruct these tables using diagrams of circuits in Boolean algebra and explain what each component represents.
Thanks
