================================================
.
The equation you have given us here tells us the relationship between time and the value of a software program. As the years go by, the program will be worth less and less.
.
Using the equation, the shopkeeper (or you) can calculate the exact value (the variable v) of the software for any number of years (the variable t). Here's how it works:
.
We want to know the value of the software after 9 years have gone by, so we let t=9. Substitute 9 for t in the equation to find the specific v when t=9.

.
After 9 years, the software program has a value of 1.

hope this helps!
