684 = 400(x)^11

684/400 = x^11

11th root (1.71) = 1.049981059

To check your answer, simply:

400(1.049981059)^11 = 684

Sorry, realized you wanted a formula, so to clarify:

FV = PV(X)^r
where r is the number of years

X= rth root(FV/PV)

This is assuming yearly compounding. It would be slightly different if
the interest was compounded monthly/weekly/etc.
