Answer:
M = 1/0.000121 = 8264.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
M = − k ∫∞₀ teᵏᵗdt
To obtain this mean life, we'll use integration by parts to integrate the function ∫ teᵏᵗdt
∫udv = uv - ∫ vdu
u = t
du/dt = 1
du = dt
∫ dv = ∫ eᵏᵗdt
v = eᵏᵗ/k
∫udv = ∫ teᵏᵗdt
uv = teᵏᵗ/k
∫ vdu = eᵏᵗ/k
∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - ∫eᵏᵗ/k
But, ∫eᵏᵗ/k = (1/k) ∫eᵏᵗ = (1/k²) eᵏᵗ = eᵏᵗ/k²
∫ teᵏᵗdt = (teᵏᵗ/k) - eᵏᵗ/k²

Answer:
third option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 4 = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 4
Using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 4 + 4, that is
(x + 2)² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± = ± 2
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ± 2
