The number of students using a certain university's online programs has been increasingly exponentially each year since 2010. Th
e number of students n who use the university's online programs t years after 2010 can be modeled using the function n(t)=425(1.14)^t. Interpret the meaning of 1.14 in the function n(t) in the context of this situation. A: The total number of students who attend the university increases by 14% each year since 2010.
B: The number of students who study online at the university increases by 14% each year since 2010.
C: The number of students who study online at the university increases by 114% each year since 2010.
D: The total number of students who attend the university increases by 114% each year since 2010.
This is a cubic equation so it will have a total of three roots. there is only one change of sign so the equation will have one positive real root. The other 2 roots will be negative and might be real or complex
