Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

![Question 8
Steps below show that the premises "Linda, a student in this class, owns a red convertible" and "Everyone who owns a
red convertible has gotten at least one speeding ticket" imply conclusion "Someone in this class has gotten a speeding
ticket."
Fill in the blanks.
Let R(x) = "x owns a red convertible", S(x) = "x has gotten at least one speeding ticket", and C(x) = "x is a student in our
class" , where the domain of x consists of all people in the world.
Premises in logical form, therefore, will be C(linda), C(Linda) a R(Linda) and Vx(R(x)→ S(x)).
