how would you answer #1?

anonymous · Answer

the quadric is the best expression to use because its less complex

amistre64 · Answer

complexity is in the eye of the beholder.  but in general that could be a good statement.  Also, it is just plug and play where you siply do the math required on the components and always get an answer.
