Practice Problem on Z-transform computation

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

$ x[n]= n^2 \left( u[n+3]- u[n-1] \right) $

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

Answer 1

$ x[n] = n^2 (u[n+2]-u[n-1]) $.

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

$ = \sum_{n=-3}^{0} n^2 z^{-n} $

$ = 9 z^3 + 4 z^2 + z $

$ = z^3 (9 + 4 z^{-1} + z^{-2}) $

$ =X(z) = (9 + 4 z^{-1} + z^{-2})/(z^{-3}) $, for all z in complex plane. Write it here.

Answer 3

Write it here.

Answer 4

Write it here.
