Question
you can upgrade your operating system only if you have a 32-bit processor running at 1 GHz or faster, at least 1GB RAM, and 16 GB free hard disk space, or a 64-bit processor running at 2 GHz or faster, least 2 GB RAM, and at least 32 GB free hard disk space.
Express your answer in terms of u: "you can upgrade your operating system," b32:" you have a 32-bit processor" b64: "you have a 64-bit processor," g1: "your processor runs at 1 GHz or faster," g2: "your processor runs 2 GHz or faster," r1:"your processor at least 2 GB RAM," h16:"you have 16 GB free hard disk space," h32: "you have at least 32 GB free hard disk space".
Explanation / Answer
We can break this down into two clauses. For the first clause, we can upgrade if we have a 32-bit processor AND 1GB of RAM AND 16GB free. Therefore this clause is: b32 ^ g1 ^ r1 ^ h16. The next clause is that we can upgrade our system if we have a 64-bit processor AND it is 2GHz or faster AND you possess 2GB of RAM AND 32GB of free. Written in boolean logic, this clause is b64 ^ g2 ^ r2 ^ h32. Combining these two with an OR we get: u = ( b32 ^ g1 ^ r1 ^ h16 ) v ( b64 ^ g2 ^ r2 ^ h32 ). NOTE: I used the convention of ^ to represent boolean AND and v to represent boolean OR.
