Answer:

-56

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's create an equation to figure out what the middle integer really is.

Creating an equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = -168 (This is true because we must account for the consecutive integers part.)

Simplifying:

3n + 3 = -168

Subtracting:

3n = -171

Dividing:

n = -57

Now, we plug-and-chug:

-57, -56, -54 (this is because we accounted for adding positive one.)

Thus, the middle integer is $\boxed{-56}$ .

Check:

We can see if we are correct by adding up -57, -56, -54.

(-57) + (-56) + (-54) = -168

So we are correct!

Hope this helps!

"Finding Derivatives Implicity In Exercise,Find dy/dx implicity . $x^{2}e^{-x}+2y^{2}-xy$ "

Answer : $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y-(2-x)xe^{-x}}{(4y-x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the expression $x^{2}e^{-x}+2y^{2}-xy$ " y is define as an implicit function of x, hence we differentiate each term of the equation with respect to x.

we arrive at

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}e^{-x )+\frac{d}{dx} (2y^{2})-\frac{d}{dx}xy=0\\$

for the expression $\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}e^{-x})$ we differentiate using the product rule, also since y^2 is a function of y which itself is a function of x, we have
