Problem 2 (2 parts, 20 points) Mixed Logic Design
Implement the following expressions using gates to minimize total transistors (switches) required. Where two expressions are specified for a single part, your implementation should provide both outputs. Use proper mixed logic design technique. Any combination of multi-input input AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and NOT gates may be used. Do not simplify the expression.
