I have the following equations:
y(t) = c(t) + i(t)
k(t+1) = i(t) + (1 − δ)*k(t)
y(t) = f(k(t)) = A*k(t) ; where A is constant
ct = c0*(0.5(1 + γ)^t + 0.5(1 + η)^t ; where γ is constant.


(a) What reccurence relation represents the evolution of capital k(t)?
(b) Determine the expression of k(t) from the recurrence found in a). You must express k(t) as a function of δ, γ, η, A, c(0) and k(0) at t=0.

How would I go about doing this?
Is a) self-explanatory and would the answer simply be k(t+1) = i(t) + (1 − δ)*k(t)?

Thanks for the help.

What is meant by "the evolution of capital"? Thank you! ;)

It's in the context of my economy class, so k(t) is "the evolution of capital". Basically it's asking me to create a recurrence relation out of those 3 equations so as to have k(t) = ?. At least that's what I think it is!
