Problem Find the z-transform, in closed form, of the number sequence generated by sampling, every T seconds the function f(t) whose Laplace transform is given by F(s) = 2(1 - e^-5s)/s(s = 2), T = 1 s Solution F(s)=2(1-e^-5)/(s(s+2)) =(1-e^-5)(1/s-1/(s+2)) As we know: z=e^(sT)=e^s Henc . e^-5=z^-5 Z transform of 1/s=z/(z-1) Z transfrom of 1/(s+2)=z/(z-e^-2) F(z)=(1-z^-5)[z/(z-1)-z/(z-e^-2)] F(z)=(1-z^-5)z(1-e^-2)/[(z-1)(z-e^-2)].
