Wake County Public School System gave teachers a bonus and I decided to buy myself a new car! As you know, the value of a car depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot. If I pay $38,500.00 for my car, and the car's value depreciates at a rate of 4% each year, then write an equation to model the value of this car over time, where v is the value of the car and n is the number of years since I purchased the car.
