1) The transfer function of a causal LTI system is given by:

Sketch the pole-zero diagram and comment on its stability. Additionally, display
the locations of poles and zeros.

Now, repeat with the below transfer function:

2) Given a difference equation of a DT LTI system:

y[n] + (1/3) y[n-1] +(1/6) y[n-2] = x[n] - x[n-1] + 3x[n-2]
Plot the following:
(i) Pole-zero plot in a single separate figure.
(ii) Frequency response of the system. Use 2x1 panels using the subplot to
obtain the magnitude (in dB) and phase (in radian) responses. Use the “freqz”
command.
(iii) Impulse response of the LTI system in a single separate figure. Use “impz”
command.

3) Given a difference equation of a DT LTI system: y[n] = 0.8y[n-1] + x[n].

Determine the output y[n] for this system when the input x[n]=cos(0.05*pi*n)u[n].

Use the 2x1 panels using the subplot. In the first column, plot the input and in the
second column plot the output. Use the xlabel, ylabel and title commands,
appropriately. Use the “filter” command to obtain the output y[n].
