\begin{goal}{}
A \emph{functional dependency (FD)} in this table is
\begin{talign}
\sql{instructor} \to \sql{phone}
\end{talign}
Whenever two rows agree in the instructor name, they \emph{must} also agree in the phone number!
\end{goal}
\pause
Intuitively, this is a FD
since the phone number \emph{only depends on the instructor}, not on the other attributes.
