ANSWER
The vertex is (-2,1)
EXPLANATION
We want to find the vertex of

We complete the square to obtain,

The first three terms forms a perfect square trinomial.

The vertex form is

This equation is in the form;

where (h,k)=(-2,1) is the vertex.
Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

constant term in any function is the term whose value does not change on variation of other parameters or in other case. We can also say constant term is independent of variable parameters.
take example
y = x + 3
here 3 is constant term which will not change either I change x or y . 3 is independent . it's just helps equation to hold information that overall in equation its matter.
so in given problem -4 is the constant
