Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 7, Problem 33E
a.
Explanation of Solution
Candidate keys
- A key is known as a candidate key when it has the ability to derive all the attributes from a relation...
b.
Explanation of Solution
Canonical cover for F
- The steps for canonical conversion is to break the functional dependencies so that right hand side will have only one single attribute.
- Then all the extra unnecessary functional dependencies are removed.
- Then all the functional dependencies are combined.
- Hence here the given functional dependencies include AB -> G, AB -> D ...
c.
Explanation of Solution
Remaining steps of
- The given relation is in 1NF as there is no multivalued attribute or complex attribute.
- The given relation is not in 2NF as there is partial functional dependency...
d.
Explanation of Solution
Final decomposition
- Given functional dependencies are AB -> CD, ADE -> GDE, B -> GC, G -> DE.
- Here ADE -> GDE have some trivial attributes.
- So those attributes can be removed and hence the dependency is ADE -> G...

- Use the subset construction algorithm from lecture to produce an equivalent DFA from the following NFA. Please show your work so that we know how each state is generated. Name your DFA states so that the link to the NFA states is clear; i.e. you should have DFA states that look like {90, 91}. You will need to show both the table and the diagram in your solution. For full marks, you will need to show all intermediate steps of the algorithm (in tabular form is fine; the DFA diagram is required only for the final DFA).
