SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the inverse Z-transform for the function H(z) = 1/(1 - (2/3)z^(-1)). The correct result for h(n) is established as (2/3)^n, which is derived from recognizing the geometric progression nature of the series. The residue method was initially misapplied, leading to an incorrect result of 3*(2/3)^n. The correct approach involves simplifying the expression properly before applying the residue method.

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!
