Answer 1

I think there is a mistake, it should be $ z_0^n $ instead of $ z_0^2 $.

proof:

$ x'[n]=z_0^n x[n] $

$ Z[x'[n]]=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x'[n]z^{-n}=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}z_0^n x[n]z^{-n}=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n](\frac{z}{z_0})^{-n} $

$ let k=\frac{z}{z_0} $

$ Z[z_0^n x[n]]=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}x[n]k^{-n}=X(k)=X(\frac{z}{z_0}) $

Answer 2

Write it here.
