statements is/are correct regarding why this is useful for higher order low-pass filters:

(1) Cascading multiple second order responses with different values of Qp and p can realise a
higher order low-pass filter with a specific response curves, such as Chebyshev and Bessel.

(2) Cascading multiple second order responses with different values of Qp and p can realise a
higher order low-pass filter with a specific roll-off value between -20dB/decade to
-100db/decade in multiples of 5 dB.
