Question

For each of the following statements, state whether it is True or False. 

(1) If \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are regular languages, then \( L_1 \, \otimes \, L_2 = \{w : w \in (L_1 - L_2) \, \text{or} \, w \in (L_2 - L_1)\} \) is regular.

- ○ True
- ○ False
Transcribed Image Text:(1) If \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are regular languages, then \( L_1 \, \otimes \, L_2 = \{w : w \in (L_1 - L_2) \, \text{or} \, w \in (L_2 - L_1)\} \) is regular. - ○ True - ○ False
Expert Solution
Step 1: Step 1

The statement is false. The union of two regular languages is guaranteed to be regular, but the set you're describing, L1 ? L2, is not necessarily regular because it involves set differences (subtractions), which can lead to non-regular languages.
