How would one go about solving this?

The amount and quality of milk produced increases when dairy cows are fed high-quality alfalfa. Although annual milk consumption per capita in China has been one of the lowest in the world, it has increased greatly in recent years. Consequently, the demand for imported alfalfa has increased exponentially. In 2008, approximately 20,000 tons of U. S. alfalfa were imported by China. This number increased to approximately 650,000 tons by 2013. (Sources: National Geographic, May 2015, Arjen Hoekstra, University of Twente; USDA Economic Research Service; Shefali Sharma and Zhang Rou, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy; FAO; Ministry of Agriculture, People’s Republic of China) The increase in imported U. S. alfalfa can be modeled by the exponential function A1x2= 22,611.00811.9922x, where x is the number of years after 2008. Find the number of tons of U. S. alfalfa imported by China in 2012 and in 2016.
