Homework Statement


If delta(t) = 0.2/(1+0.05*t) and s(x)= 1-(x/100) for 0<x<100, calclulate
a. For a whole life insurance issued at age x, the actuarial present value and the variance of the present value of the benefits


Homework Equations



Present Value = Int(exp(-delta*t)) *Mu(t+x)*tPx

The Attempt at a Solution



I try to integrate the exponentional because the Mu and P can be pulled out but get a weird situation. Any thoughts or help?

What's tPx?
 
s(x+t)/s(x)

For the Mu(x+t)*tPx you should get 1/(100-x)
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
