Cherry Hill Orchards produced 500 tons of cherries during their first year of business, 2012. Since then, the cherry harvest continues to increase in production by 5.7% over the previous year. Write an exponential function f(x) that models the tons of cherries produced by cherry hill orchards x years after 2012
A. f(x) = 500(1.057)^x
B. f(x) = 50(1.057)^x
C. f(x) = 500(0.057)^x
D. f(x) = 500(1.57)^x
