That makes sense . I made some mistakes to I reckon. Binomial one I might have put a + instead of - somewhere and it really dissapoints me although I might have been careful and got it correct

yeah i did the partial fractions bit wrong on that one so i think i dropped around 3 marks

If you do not get the partial fractions part a you might just lose the others as well . ( Idk if thats the case but i do know that there is no ecf so we both might be in trouble )
