The expressions for the number of measles are y = a(1.05)^x and y = a(1.1)^x

How to express the number of measles?

Let the initial number of measles in 2000 be represented as:

Initial = a

The rate of increase is given as:

Rate, r = 5.3%

The number of measles in x years after 2000 is represented as:

y = a * (1 +r)^x

Substitute r = 5.3%

y = a * (1 + 5.3%)^x

So, we have:

y = a * (1 + 0.053)^x

Evaluate the sum

y = a * (1.053)^x

To express to the nearest hundredth, we approximate to 2 decimal places

y = a(1.05)^x

To express to the nearest tenth, we approximate to 1 decimal place

y = a(1.1)^x

Hence, the expressions for the number of measles are y = a * (1.05)^x and y = a * (1.1)^x
