1. Algebraic sum

A B ( x) [ A ( x) B x ] [ A ( x) B ( x)], x X
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Example
Let
[A(x) Bx] [A(x) B(x)] AB (x)
1 0.5 0.3 0.4
A
~
1 1.5 2.0 2.5
1.4 0.4 1 1.0
0 .4 0 .2 0 .7 0 .1
B
~
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5 0.7 0.1 0.6 1.5
1.0 0.21 0.79 2.0
1 0.6 0.79 0.46
A B ( x) 0.5 0.04 0.46 2.5
~ ~
1 1.5 2.0 2 .5

2. Algebraic product

A B ( x) [ A ( x) B x ], x X
~ ~

Example
Let
1 0.5 0.3 0.4
A
1 1.5 2.0 2.5
0 .4 0 .2 0 .7 0 .1
B
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5
0.4 0.1 0.21 0.04
AB (x)
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5
3. Bounded sum

A B ( x) Min[1, ( A ( x) B x )], x X
~ ~

Let
1 0.5 0.3 0.4
A
1 1.5 2.0 2.5
0 .4 0 .2 0 .7 0 .1
B
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5

A B (1) Min[1, (1 0.4)] min(1, 1.4) 1

A B (1.5) Min[1, (0.5 0.2)] min(1, 0.7) 0.7
A B (2) Min[1, (0.3 0.7)] min(1, 1) 1
A B (2.5) Min[1, (0.1 0.4)] min(1, 0.5) 0.5
1 0.7 1 0 .5
A B ( x)
~ ~
1 1.5 2.0 2.5

4. Bounded Difference

A B ( x) Max[0, ( A ( x) B x )], x X
~ ~

Example
Let
1 0.5 0.3 0.4
A
1 1.5 2.0 2.5
0 .4 0 .2 0 .7 0 .1
B
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5

A B (1) Max[0, (1 0.4)] max(0, 0.6) 0.6

A B (1.5) Max[0, (0.5 0.2)] max(0, 0.3) 0.3
A B (2) Max[0, (0.3 0.7)] max(0,0.4) 0
A B (2.5) Max[0, (0.4 0.1)] max(0, 0.3) 0.3
0 .6 0 .3 0 0 .3
A B (x)
1 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5

1. Alif wants to fly to Kucing and he wants it to be inexpensive and not take a long
time.
He has a choice of three flights. Which would be the best fit?

Flight Expensive Quick E

c c
E Q
(E in 100 RM) (Q in an Hours)
MAS 0.89 0.95 0.11 0.11
Air 0.75 0.65 0.25 0.25
Asia
Malindo 0.55 0.40 0.45 0.40

Therefore Malindo is the highest value then Alif will take Malindo flight to Kuching.

2. Lim judges it to be a good night out if he gets good food or meets good friend or
listens to good music. Which might was best?

Night Food Friends Music Fd Fr Mc

(Fd) (Fr) (Mc)
Mon 0.89 0.75 0.11 0.89
Wed 0.90 0.85 0.25 0.90
Fri 0.55 0.92 0.85 0.92

Therefore, Friday night will be the best choice.

3. Let say in your class have two boys, Ali and Ramesh wearing a green shirt and blonde
hair with the degree membership below. Rank them who wearing a green shirt
and blonde hair through his degree of membership.
green ( Ali ) 0.95 green ( Ramesh) 0.55
blonde ( Ali ) 0.87 blonde ( Ramesh) 0.87
green blonde ( Ali ) 0.83 green blonde ( Ramesh) 0.48
Conclusion : ..

4. Find a servant?
I am looking for a YOUNG TO
MIDDLE AGE lady, good looking and
HONEST, who likes to look after a
baby, prepare for foods, likes gardening
and likes cats.

Or she can just really really hard

working person!!!
