    Inverse Z transform - contour integration

    Hi! Here is my task: Find inverse z transform of $$X(z)=\frac{1}{2-3z}$$, if $$|z|>\frac{2}{3}$$ using definition formula. I found that $$x(n)$$ is $$\frac{1}{3}(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}u(n-1)$$ (using other method). But how can I find it using definition formula, $$x(n)=\frac{1}{2\pi j}\oint_{C}^{ }...
