Answer 1

B. x > 3 or x < - 3

Explanation:

Took the quiz

Answer 2

The symbol
`\lor`, from the latin "vel", which means "or", is indeed the logical "or" operator.

This operator puts together two statements A and B, and
`A\lor B` is true whenever at least one between A and B is true.

So, in this case,
`p \lor q` is true whenever either p is true, or q is true, or both are true.

So, every number which is less than -3 or more than 3 makes
`p \lor q` true.

Mathematically, this is the same as claiming that
`|x|>3`
