Difficult z transform with a factorial

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the Z-transform of the sequence x[n] = (1 / n!) * u[n], where u[n] is the unit step function. The participant initially modifies the summation bounds to simplify the calculation, focusing on the range from 0 to +∞. They express uncertainty on how to proceed without approximating the factorial. A suggestion is made to consider the series expansion of e^x as a potential approach. The conversation highlights the challenges of handling factorials in Z-transforms while seeking effective strategies for solution.

Homework Statement



find z transform of:

x[n] = (1 / n!) *u[n]

u[n] is the unit step

Homework Equations



z transform equationX(z) = Ʃ x[n] * z-n

summation is from -∞ to +∞

The Attempt at a Solution

cancel the u[n] by changing the bounds of the summation

now it is from 0 to +∞It's at this point I'm stuck, outside of performing approximations for the factorial, I'm not sure how to proceed. Any tips?

I apologize for the lack of formatted questions, I'm still a newbie when it comes to LateX
