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] $
