Don't worry! It happens to all of us!
Here is an example where I fell victim to the "flow-through" error: https://web2.0calc.com/questions/monic-quartic#r1.
The question asks for a fourth-degree polynomial with given roots, and, of course, I misread some of the roots.
Obviously, two others have already posted their own solution, but I put in a solution earlier at https://web2.0calc.com/questions/helppppp_16#r1
Given that the forum title of this question is "i still dont get it," I assume that you were confused with my solution. You are always strongly encouraged to request for clarification. It is detrimental to you to pretend as if you understand.
Is there a particular section that confused you?
Do you understand what "surface area" means?
Is there a particular section where you would like more detail?
