Let's denote the exponential sequence as aₙ = ar^(n-1), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Also, let's denote the linear sequence as bₙ = c + dn, where c is the constant term and d is the common difference.
Given that they have the same first terms:
a₁ = b₁
The sum of their second terms is 3/2:
a₂ + b₂ = 3/2
Substituting the sequences, we get:
a + ar = 3/2 - (c + d)
The sum of their third terms is 6:
a₃ + b₃ = 6
Substituting the sequences, we get:
a + ar² = 6 - (c + 2d)
Now, let's solve these equations to find the values of a, r, c, and d.
From the first equation, we have:
a = c
Substituting a = c into the second equation:
c + cr = 3/2 - (c + d)
cr - c - d = 3/2 - c
From the third equation, we have:
a + ar² = 6
c + cr² = 6
Now, let's substitute c = a into the above equation:
a + ar² = 6
a + a(r² - 1) = 6
a(r² - 1) = 6 - a
a(r² - 1) = 6 - c
ar² - a = 6 - c
Substituting ar - a from the second equation:
cr - c - d = ar² - a
cr - ar² = c - a + d
Now, combining the above two equations:
cr - ar² = cr - a - c + d
ar² - a = a - c + d
a(r² - 1) = a - c + d
Since a is positive and r is positive, we can divide both sides of the equation by (r² - 1):
a = (a - c + d) / (r² - 1)
Now, let's solve for the common ratio r:
From the second equation:
cr - ar² = c - a + d
Substituting a = c into the equation:
cr - ar² = c - a + d
cr - ar² = c - c + d
cr - ar² = d
Simplifying the equation:
cr = ar² + d
r(c - ar) = d
r = d / (c - a)
Now that we have obtained the values of a and r, we can find the fifth term of the exponential sequence:
a₅ = ar^(5 - 1) = ar^4
Substituting the values of a and r in terms of c and d:
a₅ = (c * d / (c-a))^(4)
Similarly, we can find the fifth term of the linear sequence:
b₅ = c + 5d
So, the expression for the fifth terms of both sequences is:
a₅ = (c * d / (c-a))^(4)
b₅ = c + 5d
To solve this problem, let's assume that the exponential sequence has a common ratio of 'r' and the linear sequence has a common difference of 'd'.
Let's denote the first term of both sequences as 'a'.
Given that the sum of the second terms is 3/2, we know that:
a * r + (a + d) = 3/2 ................. (Equation 1)
Similarly, the sum of the third terms is 6, which means:
a * r^2 + (a + d) * r = 6 ................. (Equation 2)
To find the fifth terms, we need to calculate the next two terms in each sequence.
Let's expand the exponential sequence:
a, a * r, a * r^2, a * r^3, a * r^4, ...
And expand the linear sequence:
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, ...
Using Equation 1, we can rewrite the second term of the linear sequence in terms of 'a' and 'r':
a + d = (3/2) - a * r
Now, using Equation 2, we can rewrite the third term of the linear sequence in terms of 'a', 'r', and 'd':
a + 2d = 6 - a * r^2
Simplifying Equation 2, we get:
2d = 6 - a * r^2 - a
Now, we can substitute the expression for 'd' into the equation above:
2((3/2) - a * r - a) = 6 - a * r^2 - a
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3 - 2a * r = 6 - a * r^2 - a
Rearranging the terms, we have:
a * r^2 - 2a * r + a - 3 = 0
Now, we can solve this quadratic equation to find the possible values of 'a' and 'r'. However, we have not been given any additional information to uniquely determine the values of 'a' and 'r'.
Therefore, without further information, it is not possible to determine the fifth terms of the sequences.
