3 Question 3.4 from the textbook
Consider the z-transform X(z) whose pole-zero plot is shown in Fig. 1.
Figure 1: Pole-zero plot.
(a) Determine the ROC X(z) if it is known that the Fourier transform exists. For this case, determine
whether the corresponding sequence x[n] is right sided, left sided, or two sided.
(b) How many possible two sided sequences have the pole-zero plot shown in Fig. 1?
(c) Is it possible for the pole-zero plot in Fig. 1 to be associated with a sequence that is both stable
and causal? If so, give the appropriate ROC.
