Transcribed Image Text: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)).
