$535,528.03
Since the semiannual withdrawals will be made for 35 years, the annuity will have two payments per year.
You may use a financial calculator to calculate the balance that will match the present value of your annuity distributions when you retire. The following are the inputs:
N = 35*2 = 70 semi-annual withdrawals total time
I/Y = 4.5 percent /2 = 2.25 percent semi-annual interest rate
FV = 0 (future value) (use 0 in annuity if not given)
PMT = 15,265; semi-annual payment
Enter the functions to find PV: CPT PV = 535,528.026
As a result, the person will need $535,528.03 in cash.

Answer:
x ≈ 2.91644500708
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be simplified to ...
2(4^x) +4(4^x) = 342
6(4^x) = 342
4^x = 57
Taking logarithms, we get ...
x = log₄(57) = log(57)/log(4)
x ≈ 2.91644500708
127.17 because 9x9=81 and 81x3.14=254.34 then divide by 2 and it’s equal 127.17
