So you haven't solve this problem for 3 months?

Closure can easily be computed by applying Amstrong's interference rules (reflexity, transitivity, augmentation). For example you may start this way:

a) A -> A (reflexivity rule)
b) A -> ACD (a + transitivity A->CD)
c) A -> ACDE (b + transitivity D->E)

d) Now it's your turn (apply the missing one :)

You already know the meaning of the result?
