Basic Z-Transform Transfer Function

Click For Summary
To find the transfer function for a digital filter described by a difference equation, one must express it in the form of Y(z)/X(z). The presence of a constant term, such as 0.7, complicates this process but does not prevent it. The transfer function represents the output per input, similar to an R-C divider with an initial charge on the capacitor. This initial charge does not affect the transfer function itself. Understanding this concept is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Usually if there's no constant term (0.7) here, I can just rearrange in the form of Y(z)/X(z) to give me H(z). But I can't do that here. So what now?

You can do that.
The definition of a transfer function is output per input.
This is like an R-C divider with an initial charge on the C. The transfer function is the same irrespective of that charge.
