Problem 1
Let f [n] = x[−n].
Given that Z {f [n]} = Z {x[−n]} = F (z) with ROC Q. Using the time delay (the
time shifting) property show that Z {x[−n − a]} = z a F (z) with ROC Q

Problem 2

You know that Z {u[n]} = with ROC such that |z| > 1. Let α be a complex
1 − z −1
number and Ω be real number.
(a) Use the time reversal property to find the Z transform of u[−n]
(b) Use your results from part(a) and problem 1 to find out the Z transform of u[−n−1]
(c) Use the property for scaling in the Z domain to find the Z transform of αn u[n]
(d) Use your result from part(b) along with the property for scaling in the Z domain to
find the Z transform of −αn u[−n − 1]
(e) Use your result from part(a) along with the property for scaling in the Z domain to
find the Z transform of α−n u[−n]
(f) Use your result form part(c) along with the time reversal property to find the Z
