Default =RATE(17,1,-5) returns #NUM! but the answer should be about 18.9

Is there a way to get this function to generate the correct answer?
Essentially, I am trying to get the IRR for a cash for of $1 per year for 17
years given a $5 investment. My calculator gives the answer but I want to
program into Excel.
