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
