There were 417 cell phones sold at an electronics store in January. Since then, cell phone sales at this store have increased at a rate of 3.75% per month. At this rate of growth, which function can be used to determine the monthly cell phone sales x months after January?

• f(x) = 417(3.75)^x
• f(x) = 417(0.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.0375)^x
• f(x) = 417(1.375)^x
