 18 A bank account earning annual compound interest was opened, and no additional deposits or
withdrawals were made after the initial deposit. The balance in the account after x years can
be modeled by b(x ) = 850(1.025)x .

Which statement is the best interpretation of one of the values in this function?

F The initial balance of the account decreases at a rate of 97.5% each year.

G The balance in the account increases at a rate of 2.5% each year.

H The initial balance of the account was $1,025.

J The balance in the account at the end of one year is $850.
