Answer 1

Gena Xie

$ X(z) = e^{-2z}. $


By Taylor Series,

$ X(z) = e^{-2z} = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}\frac{{(-2 z)} ^ {n}}{n!} $


substitute n by -n

$ X(z) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{0}\frac { { (-2) } ^ {-n} } { (-n)! } {z^{-n}} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac { { (-2) } ^ {-n} } { (-n)! } u[-n]{z^{-n}} $


based on the definition,

$ X(z) = \frac{ {(-2)} ^ {-n} } { (-n)! } u[-n] $
