The negation of the Boolean expression p $$ \vee $$ (~p $$ \wedge $$ q) is equivalent to :

Let L₁ be a tangent to the parabola y² = 4(x + 1)
and L₂ be a tangent to the parabola y² = 8(x + 2)
such that L₁ and L₂ intersect at right angles. Then L₁ and L₂ meet on the straight line :

The area (in sq. units) of the region
A = {(x, y) : |x| + |y| $$ \le $$ 1, 2y² $$ \ge $$ |x|}

The shortest distance between the lines

$${{x - 1} \over 0} = {{y + 1} \over { - 1}} = {z \over 1}$$

and x + y + z + 1 = 0, 2x – y + z + 3 = 0 is :
