Problem 2 (3 parts, 26 points) Mixed Logic Design
Implement the following expressions 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 Two, three, and four input AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and NOT gates may be used. Do not simplify the expression.
