 1. z-transform MATLAB instructions:

Example 1:

Given that e(k) = 1 for all k, find E(z).

This same E(z) can be obtained using MATLAB as shown below. We also include the
sampling interval T to illustrate that it has no impact on the result.

Example 2:

Given that e(k) = e-akT, find E(z).

Note that, in this example, {e(k)} may be generated by sampling the function e(t) = e-at.
Again, this same E(z) can be obtained using MATLAB as follows:

 Problem 1:

Find the z-transform of x(kT)= kT eakT

Problem 2:

Find the z-transform of x(kT)= ak cos (bk)

 Example 3:

Find the z-transform of

T=0.1;

num=[1 4 3];

Note that the MATLAB ztrans function may also be used for this example by first
finding e(t) and then finding E(z):

2. Inverse z-transform MATLAB instructions:

Example 4:

Consider the function E(z) given by:
