How do you understand the last 3 steps for convolution in the z-transform?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the final three steps of performing convolution in the z-transform, specifically for the expression z^2/((z-2)(z-5)). The inverse z-transforms of z/(z-2) and z/(z-5) yield sequences Un = 2^n and Vn = 5^n, respectively. The convolution of these sequences results in a summation that simplifies to a closed form using the formula for a geometric series, leading to the final expression of 1/3(5^(n+1) - 2^(n+1)).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of z-transform and its properties
  • Familiarity with inverse z-transform techniques
  • Knowledge of convolution operations in signal processing
  • Basic grasp of geometric series and summation techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of the z-transform in detail
  • Learn about the geometric series and its applications in signal processing
  • Explore convolution in the context of discrete-time signals
  • Practice inverse z-transform calculations with various functions
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, signal processing, and control systems who are looking to deepen their understanding of z-transforms and convolution techniques.

Greetings,
We just had 1.5 classes about this topic (due to some unavoidable circumstances in our country...) so our teacher just scribbled and roughly explained them on the board...So after i got home i couldn't get some steps he did for convolution in z-transform:

find inverse z-transform of z^2/(z-2)(z-5)

so here, inverse of z/(z-2) is 2^n which is Un and inverse of z/(z-5) is 5^n which is Vn
so Vn*Un = Ʃ(from m=0 to n) Un-mVm

=Ʃ(from m=0 to n)2n-m5m
=Ʃ(from m=0 to n)2n(5m/2m
=2^nƩ(from m=0 to n)[5/2]m
=2^n[1+(5/2)+(5/2)^2 + (5/2)^3...(5/2)^n]

By convolution-

=2^n{[1(5/2)n+1 - 1]/(5/2 -1)}
=2^n[(5n+1-2n+1)/2n+1×3/2]
=1/3[5n+1-2n+1]

I don't get the last 3 steps, I would REALLY appreciate it if somebody would explain that ^^
