    Two differential equations -- Need to find steady state values

    Homework Statement I have found the two equations describing the system. They are. ċ(t) = 1/θ [ f`(k(t)) -(n + δ + β)]c(t) k̇(t) =f(k(t) - (n +d)k(t) - c(t) Plugging in the numbers: ċ(t) = 2 [ 0,25k^(-0,25) -(0,10)]c(t) k̇(t) =k^0,25 - (0,6)k(t) - c(t) Since ċ(t) and k̇(t) =0 in steady...
