Question: complete the square and factorize the following questions. (12 marks)

I don’t understand where I went wrong on this test, it was 3 questions worth 4 marks each. I got 0/12 marks on this page! I believe what I did was right but I probably forgot to put it in some sort of form? I think I deserve at least 2 out of 4 marks in each question as it was not stated by the question to put it in a certain form. Should I argue with the teacher for marks?

aaa ye saw it now

#

but how is it wrong?

balmy escarp
#

You did the algebra correct so imho you should get at least 2 marks, since you did half of each question

#

but you still didnt do an entire half of the question

but yeah, you deserve at most 6/12, maybe 8-9/12 depending how the weights of each part lie
