Z-transform computation

Compute the compute the z-transform (including the ROC) of the following DT signal:

$ x[n]= n u[n]-n u[n-3] $

(Write enough intermediate steps to fully justify your answer.)

Answer 1

Begin with the definition of a Z-Transform.

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

Simplify a little. (pull out the n and realize $ u[n]-u[n-3] $ is only non-zero for 0, 1, and 2.)

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{2}n z^{-n} $

Then we have a simple case of evaluating for 3 points.

$ \begin{align} X(z) &= 0 z^{-0} + 1 z^{-1} + 2 z^{-2} \\ &= \frac{z+2}{z^2} \end{align} $

Answer 2

Write it here.
