=NOT(logical)
Arguments:
•logical Required
A value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.
Microsoft® Excel® Logical Functions
Description:
•Reverses the value of its argument.
Remarks:
•If logical is FALSE, NOT returns TRUE
•if logical is TRUE, NOT returns FALSE

Syntax:
=IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])
Arguments:
•logical_test Required
Any value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.
•value_if_true Optional
•The value that you want to be returned if the logical_test argument evaluates
to TRUE.
•If logical_test evaluates to TRUE and the value_if_true argument is omitted
(that is, there is only a comma following the logical_test argument), the IF
function returns 0 (zero).
•To display the word TRUE, use the logical value TRUE for the value_if_true
argument.
Microsoft® Excel® Logical Functions
Syntax:
=IF(logical_test, [value_if_true], [value_if_false])
Arguments:
•value_if_false Optional
The value that you want to be returned if the logical_test argument evaluates
to FALSE.
If logical_test evaluates to FALSE and the value_if_false argument is omitted,
(that is, there is no comma following the value_if_true argument), the IF
function returns the logical value FALSE.
If logical_test evaluates to FALSE and the value of the value_if_false argument
is omitted (that is, in the IF function, there is a comma following the
value_if_true argument), the IF function returns the value 0 (zero).
Microsoft® Excel® Logical Functions
Description:
•The IF function returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE,
and another value if that condition evaluates to FALSE.
Remarks:
•Up to 7 IF functions can be nested as value_if_true and value_if_false
arguments to construct more elaborate tests. (2003)
•Up to 64 IF functions can be nested as value_if_true and value_if_false
arguments to construct more elaborate tests. (2007)
•If any of the arguments to IF are arrays, every element of the array is evaluated
when the IF statement is carried out.

Question (MIS, Ch 4) What factors make one computer more powerful than
another?
Answer The two major factors to consider are processing speed and memory
capacity. A computer’s speed is determined, among other factors, by the CPU
clock rate (measured in MHz or GHz), and the amount of information the CPU
can process per cycle (determined by the size of the data word and the capacity
of internal data communication, which is often referred to as bus width).
However, the architecture of the various computer components also plays a
significant role in determining processing speed. To mention one, consider the
discussion of multi-core CPUs. When two computers are built with the same
components except the number of cores, the computer with the greater number
of cores is faster.

the correct total price to charge the trucker for the diesel they have pumped
based on the following conditions:
A- no discount (zero dollars off the total amount due) if a trucker
purchases less than 50 gallons of diesel
B-a 5% discount on all diesel purchased if the person dispenses at least
50 gallons into their tank

Assume that cell A1 shows the total quantity (in
gallons) of fuel purchased and cell B1 is the price
per gallon. Provide a formula that will correctly
calculate the total amount that a person should
pay, after the discount (if any) has been applied.
=IF(A1<50, A1*B1, A1*B1*95%) and then apply some algebra to get:
=A1*B1*IF(A1<50, 1, .95)
note the different format (no percent)
