Prof. Mimi gave me this problem in class on Friday, so I'm posting it and my answer here. --Cmcmican 22:05, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


Answer 1

$ X(z)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty u[n]z^{-n}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^{-n} $

$ X(z)=\frac{z}{z-1} \mbox{, ROC: }\Big|z\Big|>1 $

TA's comment: Correct!
Instructor's comment: Exactly where do you get that the norm of z must be greater than one for convergence? It is important to clearly state it.

Answer 2

Write it here.

Answer 3

Write it here.
