Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given F = {X → Y, Y → Z}, compute the closure of {X, W} and explain each step involved.

💡 Hint: Follow through each dependency and state why it was added.

Challenge 2 Hard

If the set A = {X, Y} and F = {X → Z, Y → Z}, what can be said about F+? Identify candidate keys based on your findings.

💡 Hint: Consider which attributes fully determine the relation when assessing keys.
