Question
It is Tuesday or this is not an octopus
p:It is Tuesday
q: This is an Octopus
the symbolic form is ?
Solution:
The symbolic forms are:
p: It is Tuesday
q: This is an octopus
"or":∨
"not": ¬

(It is Tuesday) or (this is not an octopus)
=>
(It is Tuesday) or ¬(This is an octopus)

Therefore
p ∨ ¬ q
is the symbolic form for
"It is Tuesday or this is not an octopus"

note: ¬ has a higher precedence than ∨, so
p ∨ ¬ q is the same as p ∨ (¬ q)
