Homework Statement


H(z)=1/(1-2/3*z-1)
h(n)=?

Homework Equations


I tried to use the residue method to solve this problem but it doesn't give me the good result and i am not sure if i don't know how to use the method or this problem can't be solved using this method.
Also, its pretty obvious that the result is h(n)=(2/3)n because it looks like a geometric progression

The Attempt at a Solution


I used the formula of residue method.
h(n)=residue(H(z)*zn-1) when z=2/3
The result is 3*(2/3)n
Its this result wrong because when we calculate Z transform of (2/3)n which is (1-(2/3)n*z-n )/(1-(2/3)*z-1) we ignore (2/3)n because is 0 when n=infinity?

You have
$$z^{n-1} H(z) = \frac{z^{n-1}}{1-\frac{2}{3z}} = \frac{z^n}{z-\frac{2}{3}}.$$ How did you get ##h(n)=3(2/3)^n## from that?

I think i found what what I am doing wrong.
I made H(z)=3z/(3z-2) then i multiply by zn-1 and simplify by (3z-2) but i must simplify by (3z-2)/3 when calculating the residue... From now ill stick only to z-x form for denominator.
Eveyrthing is clear now, thanks!

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
