Hi Viceidol If this is a sentence from a test, they are probably expecting "hadn't you" as the answer. In my opinion, however, it's not a sentence you're likely to actually hear someone say.

No.

That's is rather important a question, but there's no explanation. For me, I think 'had better' is a modal verb, so we can inverse it as the other helping verb: You'd better finish your homework tongight, had better you?

You'll never in your life hear a native speaker say that.
