The discussion centers on solving the equation 20,000 = (1/(1+i)^5) * 35,247 for the variable i. The user initially simplified the equation to 0.5674241779 = (1/(1+i)^5) and attempted to manipulate it further. A key suggestion was to take the fifth root of both sides, leading to the equation (20,000/35,247)^(1/5) = 1/(1+i), which is crucial for isolating i. The final solution for i is approximately 0.715.

The Attempt at a Solution
Here is what I did. I divided both sides by 35,247 and got .5674241779= (1/(1+i)^5).
From here I converted 1/(1+i )^5 to (1+i)^5/2. I then multiplied the reciprocal of the exponent to both sides and ended up with i= .715...
