A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)e^kt, 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 integral from infinity to 0 (t e^(kt)) dt For the radioactive carbon isotope, 14C, used in radiocarbon dating, the value of k is -0.000121. Find the mean life of a 14C atom.
