Explanation / Answer

INV_NUM -----> SALE_DATE

INV_NUM -------> NUMBER_SOLD

PROD_NUM -----> PROD_DESCRIPTION

PROD_NUM ------> PROD_PRICE

VEND_CODE ------> VEND_NAME

All the non key attributes are not fully functionally dependent on the composite key . The non key attributes are partially dependent on the composite key. So the table is not in 2nd normal form .

INVOICE(INV_NUM,SALE_DATE,NUMBER_SOLD)

PRODUCT(PROD_NUM,PROD_DESCRIPTION,PROD_PRICE)

VENDOR(VEND_CODE,VEND_NAME)
