You will receive feedback from your instructor and TA directly on this page. Other students are welcome to comment/discuss/point out mistakes/ask questions too! No need to write your name: we can find out who wrote what by checking the history of the page.

Answer 1

Green26 ece438 hmwrk3 power series.png

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n]z^{-n} $

$ = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} 3^{n}z^{-n} $

$ = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

Let k = n+3:

$ = \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k-3} $

Using the geometric series property:

$ X(z) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} (\frac{z}{3})^3 \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}} & \quad |z| > 3\\ \text{diverges} & \quad \text{else} \end{array} \right. $

TA's comment: Simple and clear derivation!

Answer 2

Muhammad Syafeeq Safaruddin

x[n] = 3nu[n + 3]

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n] z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^n u[n+3] z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} 3^n z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

Let k = n+3, n = k-3

$ X(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k-3} $

$ X(z) = (\frac{z}{3})^{3} \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

$ X(z) = (\frac{z^3}{27}) \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

$ X(z) = (\frac{z^3}{27}) \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

By geometric series formula,

$ X(z) = (\frac{z^3}{27}) (\frac{1}{1-(\frac{3}{z})}) $ ,for |z| < 3

X(z) = diverges, else

So,

$ X(z) = (\frac{z}{z-3}) $ with ROC, |z| < 3



TA's comment: You could just use geometric series to calculate the summation in step 4, and dont'need to change variable. ROC means region of CONVERGENCE. So ROC should be|z|>3.

Answer 3

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^n u(n+3) z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} 3^n z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} + \sum_{n=-3}^{-1} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} + (\frac{3}{z})^{-3} + (\frac{3}{z})^{-2} + (\frac{3}{z})^{-1} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} + (\frac{z^{3}}{27}) + (\frac{z^{2}}{9}) + (\frac{z}{3}) $

if |3/z|<1,i.e z<-3 or z>3,

$ (z) = (\frac{1}{1-(\frac{3}{z})}) + (\frac{z^{3}}{27}) + (\frac{z^{2}}{9}) + (\frac{z}{3}) $

if -3<z<3,

X(z) diverges



TA's comment: You can get a closed form expression by applying the geometric series property to the whole equation rather than split them into to parts.


Answer 4

x[n] = 3nu[n + 3]

$ X[Z] = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{n}u[n+3] Z^{-n} $

$ X[Z] = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} 3^{n}Z^{-n} $

$ X[Z] = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

$ X[Z] = \sum_{n=-3}^{n=-1} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} + \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

$ for \sum_{n=-3}^{n=-1} (\frac{3}{z})^{n}, no effect, because this converges everywhere on plane. $

$ for \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}}, if |\frac{3}{z}|<1, |z|>3 $ 

or diverges else.


TA's comment: The ROC of the Z transform is the intersection of each part's ROC, which is |z|>3. You should state that explicitly.


Answer 5

Yixiang Liu

x[n] = 3nu[n + 3]

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n] z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{n} u[n+3] z^{-n} $

Let k = n + 3

Now $ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{k-3} u[k] z^{3-k} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{k=3} z^{3-k} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{k} 3^{-3} z^{-k} z^{3} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} (\frac{z}{3})^{3} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

$ X(z) = (\frac{z}{3})^{3}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

using geometric series formula

$ X(z) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} (\frac{z}{3})^3 \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}} &, if \quad |\frac{3}{z}| < 1\\ \text{diverges} &, \quad \text{else} \end{array} \right. $

$ X(z) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} (\frac{z}{3})^3 \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}} &, if \quad |z| > 3\\ \text{diverges} &, \quad \text{else} \end{array} \right. $


TA's comment: Once you drop the unit step function u[k] in step 4, the summation should be from 0 to infinity.

Answer 6

Xi Wang

$ X[z] = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty} 3^n u[n+3] z ^{-n} $ k = n + 3 

  $ X[z] = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{k-3} u[k] z ^{3-k}  $
$ X[z] = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k-3}  $

if z > 3 

  $ X[z] = (\frac{1}{1-(\frac{3}{z})}) $

if z < 3

TA's comment: Once you drop the unit step function u[k], the summation should be from 0 to infinity. The last step is wrong. Where is the (3/z)^3? .

Answer 7

$ X[z] = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty} 3^n u[n+3] z ^{-n} $

Let k = n + 3, thus n = k - 3

With that we obtain,

$ X[z] = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty} 3^{k-3} u[k] z ^{-k+3} $

$ X(z) = (\frac{z}{3})^{3}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{k} $

$ X(z) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} (\frac{z}{3})^3 \frac{1}{1-\frac{3}{z}} &, if \quad |z| > 3\\ \text{diverges} &, \quad \text{else} \end{array} \right. $

Thus, ROC is |z| > 3 because it is restricted by geometric series.

Answer 8

Cary Wood

x[n] = 3nu[n + 3]

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} x[n] z^{-n} $

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} 3^n u[n+3] z^{-n} $

X(z) = 3nz − nf'o'r'a'l'l'n > − 3

and

X(z) = 0,e'l's'e

Thus, we re-write X(z) as...

$ = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} (\frac{3}{z})^{n} $

By the geometric series formula,

$ X(z) = (\frac{1}{1-(\frac{3}{z})}) $ , for |3/z| < 1

X(z) = diverges, elsewhere

ROC, |z| > 3


TA's comment: In step 3: X(z) is not a function of n, so it's not proper say it that way. You probably apply the geometric series in a wrong way. If the summation doesn't start from 0, you should multiply the sum by the first term (3/z)^3? .

Answer 9

Shiyu Wang

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} 3^n z^{-n}= \sum_{n=-3}^{+\infty} (3/z)^{n} $

when  |3/z| < 1, |z| > 3

$ X(z) = (\frac{z^3}{27}) (\frac{1}{1-(\frac{3}{z})}) = (\frac{z^3}{27}) (\frac{z}{z-3}) $ , for |z|>3; else, diverges.

TA's comment: Simple and clear derivation!
