WOW. :shock: I had no idea until now that both techniques could be applied to the same problem so long as they were consistently used to achieve 1) the desired results and 2) the total possible results.

You could...
a) Do as I do and just go over all your weak areas again. It's not about doing as many problems as possible. The best strategy is to effectively review your weaknesses.
b) Or, write your own problems.

But here's my issue:...

f(x)=(x-1)^2, what is the value of f(x-1)? Thanks... The trick with function "f(x)" questions is to insert whatever is in between the bracket into the variable in the equation. So if question asked, what is f(2), you would insert 2 into the "x" spots in the equation above. (2 - ...
