Inflation: sales modelled by S(n) = (2n^2+2n+4)/(17n+4)

[Preeti]

A telecommunications company’s sales for the last 20 years can be modelled by the function S(n)= (2n^2 + 2n + 4)/(17n + 4) , where S(n) represents annual sales, in millions of dollars, and n represents the number of years since the company’s founding. Given the long term average inflation is 3.3%, what is the true growth of the company since its inception?
