The length of the shortest string NOT in the language (over $$\sum { = \left\{ {a,\,\,b} \right\}} $$) of the following regular expression is ____________. $$$a{}^ * b{}^ * \left( {ba} \right){}^ * a{}^ * $$$

Consider the languages $${L_1} = \phi $$ and $${L_2} = \left\{ a \right\}.$$ Which one of the following represents $${L_1}\,L_2^ * UL_1^ * ?$$

What is the complement of the language accepted by the $$NFA$$ shown below?
Assume $$\sum { = \left\{ a \right\}\,\,} $$ and $$\varepsilon $$ is the empty string.

Let $${L_1}$$ recursive language. Let $${L_2}$$ and $${L_3}$$ be languages that are recursively enumerable but not recursive. Which of the following statement is not necessarily true?
