Harvey:
The d(1, 5, 29, 31) portion is a set of "don't care" minterms.
This means that you are sure that these combinations of inputs
will never happen and thus you can either include or not include
them, you may also include some but not others.
If you read the slides starting at # 44 of Topic3 that are posted
in the web, you shall be able to figure it out.

Nelson
