Answer 1
$ {\mathcal X} (\omega) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x[n]e^{-j\omega n}=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty 3^n u[-n]e^{-j\omega n}=\sum_{n=-\infty}^0 3^n e^{-j\omega n}=\sum_{n=-\infty}^0 \Bigg(\frac{3}{e^{j\omega}}\Bigg)^n $ Let k=-n
$ = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \Bigg(\frac{e^{j\omega}}{3}\Bigg)^k $
$ \mathcal X (\omega) = \frac{1}{1-\frac{e^{j\omega}}{3}} $
