2. The following is the relation notation of a table for a veterinary office. [70 pts. total] VETERINARY_OFFICE (PetID, PetName, PetType, PetBreed, OwnerID, OwnerLastName, OwnerFirstName, ServiceDescription, ServiceDate, ServiceCharge) The functional dependencies are given below: PetID -> PetName, PetType, PetBreed, OwnerID, OwnerLastName, OwnerFirstName OwnerID -> OwnerLastName, OwnerFirstName ServiceDescription -> ServiceCharge PetID, ServiceDate > ServiceDescription, ServiceCharge

Use relational notation for all relations in your answers.

(Note: do not make additional assumptions and functional dependencies)

Note: Not following relational notation is subject to 10 points off. Not including dependencies and references are subject to 10 and 5 points off, respectively. Solutions without detail steps or intermediate steps may be subject to penalties up to 50% off.

2.1. Show the 1NF in relational notation (indicate the primary key).

2.2. Identify and list all partial dependency in the relation only (if any) and identify and show the 2NF. Use relational notation and show the partial dependencies, all relations and their references.
