Answer: a
Explanation: Now since we have fourier
cosine transform, we have to use the
constant 4 And since while writing as sum
of series it also has a term if p=0. Hence,
F(#) =p=1felp)cos(pr) + fe(0)

Questions and Answers focuses on "Linear
Difference Equations and Z - Transforms".

1. Find the Z-Transform of AnC_p.

a) (1-z""
b)(1+zln
)(1-z""
d) (1+zlyn

View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Using the Z-Transform
formula, it can be written as
Z(nC_p) = 1+ ^nC_1 2Af-1}+ AnC_2 z{-2}+

nC_3 z-3} t which can be further

equated to (1+7l}n.
2. Find the function whose Z - Transform is

1
a) &(n)
b) &tn+1)
c) U(n)
d) Un+1)
View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: &(n) exists only at n=0 and

S(n+1) exists only at n=1. Therefore while
substituting this function, the Z -

Transform at every other place becomes

zero except at n=1. Therefore the Z-
Transform of &(n+1) is.

7.Find the value of ug if U(z) =

a) 12
b) 13
c) 14
d) 15

View Answer

Answer:C
Explanation: Taking limo U(z), we get 0
which is Ug. Now using the shifting
property and again using the limit we get
U which is 0. Again, by using the shifting
property we get u2 which is 3. Now, by
using shifting by 3 properties, we get the
value of u3 which is 14.
8. Find the Z - Transform of nP.

a)-dZ(nP))
b) (Z(rP))
c)-z(ZnP+1))
d) 2 (Z(nP*"))

View Answer

Answer:a
Explanation: The Z Transform of 1 can be
found just by infinite G.P. sum. The Z-
Transform can be found by differentiating
the Z-Transform of 1 and multiplying by (
z). And the Z-Transform of n, can also be
found by differentiating the Z-Transform of
n and multiplying by (-z). Hence the general
form is - (Z(nP-l).

View Answer

Answer:c
Explanation: The first step is to find the
limit of the U(z), hence getting the uo. And
again doing this we get u1. And again doing
the shifting property. we get un+2 And
doing the limits, we get the u2
