A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)ekt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a negative constant. The mean life M of an atom in the substance is M = −k [infinity] tekt dt. 0 For a radioactive isotope, the value of k is −0.000192. Find the mean life of the isotope's atom. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) yr

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
