Question

Two sequences x1[n]x_1[n] and x2[n]x_2[n] have the same energy. Suppose x1[n]=α 0.5nu[n]x_1[n] = \alpha \ 0.5^n u[n], where α\alpha is a positive real number and u[n]u[n] is the unit step sequence. Assumex2[n]={1.5for n=0,10otherwise.x_2[n] = \begin{cases} \sqrt{1.5} & \text{for } n = 0, 1 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}Then the value of α\alpha is ______.
