I am having a hard time understanding what this would look like. I'm in a computer mathematics class and circuits are being introduced for the end of the semester?

B • A + B • C

Seems that the B is shared among the two switches, do I need to simplify this in some way?

Thanks.

B • A + B • C

is the same as saying that the output F is TRUE when B and A or B and C are TRUE.

• = logical AND

+ = logical OR

TRUE = 1

FALSE = 0

so

F = 1

when

B and A = 1

or

when

B and C = 1

Does this help your visualisation?
