Tn = t * r^(n - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "20,971,520 = 5 * 4^(n - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "20,971,520 = 5 * 4^(n - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "4194304=4^(n - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "n=12
\n" ); document.write( "S=t*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
\n" ); document.write( "S=5*(1 - 4^12)/(1 - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "S = 27962025
