i hope it more simple for you : 1. y = [p(x+1)^n .(x+1)]/ [(x+1) + (x+1)^n] 2. y = 1 / [ 1/(p(x+1)) + 1/(p(x+1)^n)] sorry i can make more simple again, hope useful for you

I got the formula when I tried to solve the following problem. If n is value is more, it is too hard to calculate it by hand. A retired man has $800000 invested at 8% annual rate. He would like to be able to take a certain amount of money once a year during 24 years until all the money is gone. Calculate the amount of money he will be getting annually.
