Consider a simple Turing Machine, ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{add}}$, that only does addition on two inputs to produce the sum as its output: We can sum 8 inputs (a through $\mathrm{h}$ ) by connecting together seven of these simple machines: Assume the following: - each Turing Machine is very slow and takes 1 second to output the result of its addition - each Turing Machine can run simultaneously - each Turing Machine can only do its addition when both of its inputs are ready - the inputs a through $\mathrm{h}$ are all immediately available What is the total time in seconds for sum to be produced? seconds What is the sum output by ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{add}}$ ? Enter your sum using the input letters in alphabetical and using + without any spaces (e.g., $\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c})$. What is the total time for the slowest possible configuration using 7 of these simple Turing Machines? seconds
