PLS HELP a parabola has the equation y = 4x^2 + bx -2 and the equation for the axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Unless you know calculus, the only way to solve this is by completing the square.

Solution

y = 4x^2 + bx - 2

y = 4(x^2 + b/4 ) - 2

y = 4(x^2 + b/4 + (1/2b/4)^2 ) - 2 - 4*(b/8)^2

y = 4(x^2 + b/4 + (b/8)^2 ) -  2 - b^2/16

y = 4(x + b/8)^2 - 2 - b^2/16

Now what you want to happen is to give b/8 a value of 1 so that when x is put in -1 you get 0 for  what is inside the brackets.  

b/8 = 1

b = 8

y = 4(x + 1)^2 - 2 - (8)^2 / 16

y = 4(x + 2)^2 - 2 - 4

y = 4(x + 1)^2 - 6

The vertex is at (-1, - 6)

The axis of symmetry  is x = - 1

Note

This could have been done a lot shorter just by realizing that the number inside the brackets had to be + 1 as in (x + 1). But then you would not have been able to know the minimum value for y which is - 6

where is the graph, sweetheart?

step-by-step explanation:

meaning of term low   inflation is when prices of commodities does not change very highly.so low inflation is   not a sign of healthy economy.the demand of goods becomes higher due to some faulty measures taken by government

there are two kind of inflation

1. positive inflation : when supply of goods is less than prices of those goods rise.

2. negative inflation : when supply of any good is very high so it,s price will fall.

so option c is true : struggling economy because it results from a steady rise in demand.
