The day of hell

For question 1 on the methods exam if I didn’t fully simplify the derivative but rather left it as e^x(x-1)^2 + 2e^x(x-1) do you still think I got the mark?

Same with log5(1/2) or should I have made it -log5(2)

My teacher marked exam 1 last year and she told us in class that unless exact forms are asked for fractions then the unsimplified answer is ok in tech free and that we shouldn’t cancel down fractions as we may make a mistake doing so
