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)).
(1) Vx(R(x)→ S(x))
(2) R(Linda) → S(Linda)
instantiation from (1)
(3) C(Linda) A R(Linda) Premise

(6) S(Linda) Modus ponens from
and (5)
(7) C(Linda) A S(Linda)

(8) 3x(C(x) A S(x)) Existential
from
Step (8) expressed in words is "Therefore, someone in the class has gotten at least one speeding ticket".
