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

Andrei Henrique Patriota Campos

x[n] = n2(u[n + 2] − u[n − 1]).

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

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

= 9z3 + 4z2 + z

= z3(9 + 4z − 1 + z − 2)

= X(z) = (9 + 4z − 1 + z − 2) / (z − 3), for all z in complex plane.

Answer 3

Muhammad Syafeeq Safaruddin

x[n] = n2(u[n + 3] − u[n − 1])

x[n] = n2(δ(n + 3) + δ(n + 2) + δ(n + 1) + δ(n))

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

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} n^2(\delta(n+3)+\delta(n+2)+\delta(n+1)+\delta(n)) z^{-n} $

X(z) = 9z3 + 4z2 + z + 1 for all z in complex plane

Answer 5

Tony Mlinarich

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