2.Find the inverse z-transform, x(n), of the following functions by
bringing them into a form such that you can look up the inverse z-
transform from the tables. This will require some algebraic and /or
trigonometric manipulation/calculation. You will also need a table of z-
transforms (page 776 of text or equivalent). When computing the value
13. of trigonometric functions, keep in mind that the arguments are always
in radians and not in degrees.
3.Find the first seven values (i.e., x(n) for n = 0 to 6) of the function
given below.
Hint: Manually calculate the three parts separately for various values of
n and add or subtract them point by point for various values of n. For
example, for n = 2 equals 2 * 2 * 1 (or 4); for n = 5 equals 2 * u(2) or 2
* 1 = 2; and so on. Also keep in mind that u(n - k) is a unit step function
delayed byksamples, and hence it will be zero for all values of (n - k),
which are negative and 1 otherwise.
