1. Functional Dependencies

Consider a relation R (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J) with the following functional dependencies:

AB --> CD

H --> B

G --> DA

C --> BG

CD --> EF

A --> HJ

J --> G

Find minimal cover and identify all possible candidate keys.

2. Normalize the following relations to 3NF, using the set of functional dependencies listed:

1.    R(A,B,C,D,E)

                      FDs: B --> C, D --> E & AD --> B 

2.  R(A,B,C,D,E)

                   FDs: C --> B & AB --> DEC 

3. R(A,B,C,D,E)

                 FDs: C --> B, D --> E & AB --> DEC

Your submission should clearly identify the steps required to normalize the relation to 3NF and demonstrate that the solution is lossless and preserves all functional dependencies
