To solve for the frequency response $H(\Omega)$ and the impulse response $h(n)$ of the given difference equation using Fourier transforms, we will proceed as follows:

Given Difference Equation

$y(n) - \frac{5}{6} y(n-1) + \frac{1}{6} y(n-2) = x(n)$

Step 1: Find the Frequency Response $H(\Omega)$

1. Apply the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT) to the equation.

   Let the DTFT of $y(n)$ be $Y(\Omega)$ and the DTFT of $x(n)$ be $X(\Omega)$. Then, applying the DTFT to both sides of the difference equation: $Y(\Omega) - \frac{5}{6} Y(\Omega) e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} Y(\Omega) e^{-j2\Omega} = X(\Omega)$

2. Factor out $Y(\Omega)$: $Y(\Omega) \left[ 1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega} \right] = X(\Omega)$

3. Express the Frequency Response $H(\Omega)$: $H(\Omega) = \frac{Y(\Omega)}{X(\Omega)} = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}$

Thus, the frequency response $H(\Omega)$ is: $H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}$

Step 2: Find the Impulse Response $h(n)$

The impulse response $h(n)$ is the inverse DTFT of $H(\Omega)$.

1. Express $H(\Omega)$ in a simpler form:

   To simplify $H(\Omega)$, consider the characteristic equation: $1 - \frac{5}{6} z^{-1} + \frac{1}{6} z^{-2} = 0$ This is a quadratic equation in $z^{-1}$: $z^2 - \frac{5}{6} z + \frac{1}{6} = 0$ Solve for the roots $z_1$ and $z_2$.

2. Factor $H(\Omega)$: $H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{(1 - r_1 e^{-j\Omega})(1 - r_2 e^{-j\Omega})}$ where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the roots.

3. Inverse DTFT to find $h(n)$:

   The impulse response $h(n)$ will be the inverse DTFT of $H(\Omega)$. If $H(\Omega)$ can be decomposed into simpler fractions, the impulse response is typically a sum of exponentials: $h(n) = A_1 r_1^n u(n) + A_2 r_2^n u(n)$ where $u(n)$ is the unit step function, and $A_1$, $A_2$ are constants determined by partial fraction expansion.

Final Results:

• (i) The Frequency Response $H(\Omega)$: $H(\Omega) = \frac{1}{1 - \frac{5}{6} e^{-j\Omega} + \frac{1}{6} e^{-j2\Omega}}$

• (ii) The Impulse Response $h(n)$: The exact form depends on the roots $r_1$ and $r_2$, and would be a sum of exponential sequences based on these roots.
