Answer 1

$ X_k = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x_n \cdot e^{-j 2 \pi \frac{k}{N} n} = \sum_{n=0}^{3} (-j)^n \cdot e^{-j 2 \pi \frac{k}{4} n} = 1 + (-j \cdot e^{-j \frac{\pi k}{2}} ) + (-1 \cdot e^{-j \frac{2\pi k}{2}} ) + (j \cdot e^{-j \frac{3\pi k}{2}} ) $

$ = 1 + (-j) \cdot (-j)^k + (-1) \cdot (1)^k + (j) \cdot (j)^k $ $ = (-j)^{k+1} + (j)^{k+1} $
