SUMMARY
The equivalence of the logical expression p <=> q to (p ^ q) V (¬p ^ ¬q) is established through formal proof techniques in propositional logic. This equivalence demonstrates that p and q are logically equivalent if both are true or both are false. The proof utilizes truth tables and logical identities to validate the statement. This conclusion is essential for understanding logical equivalences in mathematical logic.
