Identify the logic function of a layout

gonsays

Hello,

I'm a Microelectronics student and I'm in a struggle to understand which logic function is associated with the following layout:

It says that the circuit has four inputs (A and B) and one output (y), in an N-WELL TECHNOLOGY.

Thank you very much in advance and I'm sorry for my basic question for you

    Hello Colin and thank you very much for your help! I was wrong regarding the inputs, it will have 3 inputs.

    I've searched a bit and I think this is a 3 input AOI. If it is a 3 input AOI, this one will be a 2 input AOI am I right?:

    ALSO, I became a bit confused about the next layout. What would be the logic function of this layout?:


     

    This one has two inputs (a,b) and two outputs (y1,y2).

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help and kindness :)
