\n" ); document.write( "by definition:
\n" ); document.write( "A disjunction is a compound statement formed by joining two statements with the connector $\"OR\"$ . The disjunction \" $\"p\"$ or $\"q\"$ \" is symbolized by $\"p\"$ v $\"q\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "A disjunction is $\"false\"$ $\"if\"$ and $\"only\"$ $\"if\"$ $\"+both\"$ statements are $\"false\"$ ; otherwise it is $\"true\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The truth values of $\"p\"$ v $\"q\"$ are listed in the truth table below. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"p\"$ | $\"q\"$ | $\"p\"$ v $\"q\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"T\"$ | $\"T\"$ | $\"T\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"T\"$ | $\"F\"$ | $\"T\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"F\"$ | $\"T\"$ | $\"T\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28F%29\"$ | $\"+%09highlight%28F%29+\"$ | $\"%09highlight%28F%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the answer to the question, if $\"p\"$ is $\"true\"$ and $\"q\"$ is false, the truth value of $\"p\"$ v $\"q\"$ is $\"T\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
