\[b_{5} - b_{3} = 72:\]
\[b_{1}q^{4} - b_{1}q^{2} = b_{1}q^{2}\left( q^{2} - 1 \right) =\]
\[= q \cdot b_{1}q\left( q^{2} - 1 \right) = 72.\]
\[b_{4} - b_{2} = 36:\]
\[b_{1}q^{3} - b_{1}q = b_{1}q\left( q^{2} - 1 \right) = 36.\]
\[q \cdot 36 = 72\]
\[q = 2.\]
\[b_{1} \cdot 2 \cdot \left( 2^{2} - 1 \right) = 36\]
\[b_{1} \cdot 3 = 18\]
\[b_{1} = 6.\]
\[Ответ:6;2.\]
